Helen Fisher Peacock

Helen Elizabeth Fisher Peacock, 92, of Salisbury, passed away Saturday, September 8, 2018 at Novant Health – Glenn A. Kiser Hospice House. Born in Rowan County on May 22, 1926, she was the daughter of the late Claude Jeremiah Whitehead Fisher and Ella Seamon Fisher. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Claude Eagle Peacock, who passed away on July 16, 1997; four siblings, Jerry Ell ZumBrunnen, Donald M. Fisher, Carroll J. W. Fisher and Steven Eugene Fisher, Sr. and Timbre Parris, great-grandchild. Helen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was the family caregiver. She enjoyed her job working with the public in sales at Friedman’s Jewelers, and later retired from working in natural food sales alongside her son-in-law, Don, and daughter, Priscilla, for over 18 years at Simply Good Natural Foods. She had a life-long love of gardening and worked hard growing and preserving food for her family in the early years. Helen was passionate about rock hounding and was a charter member of Salisbury’s first rock hounding club. She learned how to refine her “special finds” into jewelry and faceted gemstones. Her love and knowledge of farm animals led her to raising and caring for goats and donkeys up until her death. She was also a lifetime member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and sang in the church choir for many years. Anyone who knew Helen well would describe her as being “feisty in spirit”. She was always up for an adventure. Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Roger Caroll Peacock (Hilda); daughters, Donna Peacock Clark (Robert), Kathryn Peacock Kemmerer, Priscilla Peacock Brisson (Donald), and Semone Peacock Brisson (Randy Crowell); twelve grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; four great-great grandchildren and former son-in-law, Dale Brisson. The family will have a drop-in casual Celebration of Life for family, friends and neighbors at 1625 Earnhardt Road Salisbury, NC on Thursday, September 20, 2018 from 5-9 PM. Helen always enjoyed sharing meals with family and friends; therefore, Helen’s family invites all guests to share in a meal that they are providing during the visiting hours. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, September 21, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father John Eckert officiating. Burial will follow at Rowan Memorial Park.
