Rebecca (Becky) Peacock

March 17, 1959 – May 8, 2022

Rebecca (Becky) Peacock, 63, of Crawfordsville, Indiana, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2022 from pancreatic cancer.

She was born March 17, 1959 in Crawfordsville to the late Jack Walton and Barbara Manion Walton Nixon.

Mrs. Peacock graduated from Crawfordsville High School in 1977, attended beauty school at House of James Beauty College, and received her cosmetology degree in 1978. She is an auxiliary member of the American Legion Post 72. She met the love of her life, Terry Peacock in 1993 and they were married on December 24th. They were married for 28 years.

Mrs. Peacock owned her own salon, Rebecca’s Haircare, for 17 years where she met many wonderful people. She later got her real estate license and worked as a licensed insurance agent. She was progressive, creative, and committed to whatever she set her mind to.

She was an animal lover – and most recently rescued a four week old kitten. Mrs. Peacock was dedicated to her family, and a caretaker for many. She was an avid gardener with an incredible green thumb (more like a green arm). She was an outstanding cook and is remembered for preparing family favorites. She was a loving, caring person with a heart of gold. Mrs. Peacock loved trips to Jamaica and spending time with her husband on Harley motorcycle trips across the country, especially to Sturgis.

Survivors include her loving husband Terry (Crawfordsville, IN) and their kitten, Gracie; sister Linda (Jack Dawson) of Iowa City, IA; step-mother Donna Walton of Crawfordsville; many nieces and nephews; and long-time friends Debbie Cruea, Kay Davis, Laurie Miller, Susan Plank and Deb Slater.

She is preceded in death by her parents; grandparents; aunts and uncles; brother Gregory (Pete) Walton (Crawfordsville); and many beloved pets, Gunther, Bunny, Strider, Brody.

Memorial service to be held later this summer.
