Shelley Peaks

Shelly “DeeDee” Peaks, age 48, loving mother of two passed away peacefully in her home Thursday, June 23, 2022. She was born May 8, 1974 in Columbus, Ohio.

DeeDee lived in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville community for 14+ years where she met so many friends turned family. She was known by family and friends to be caring and funny as ever.

DeeDee would call your phone just to say a stupid joke and hang up. She loved to grill-out with her friends and family and would have enough food to feed the whole neighborhood. DeeDee was loved by everyone who met her and will be greatly missed.

DeeDee is preceded in death by mother, Shelley Peaks-Waters; grandparents, Lillian Bowden and John Carter; uncle, Bobby Hendricks; and sisters, Anita M. Peaks, Teirsa Henry-Martin, and Monica Davis.

DeeDee is survived by her daughters, Amber and Bianca Peaks; siblings, Ronald Peaks Jr., Michael Peaks Sr., and Danielle “Excellence” Peaks; wonderful grandchildren, Elyzah Peaks, Mishellay Peaks, Issouf Coulibaly Jr., and Dalan Coulibaly; parents, Ronald Peaks, Sr and Marlene Stewart; grandmother, Alice Stewart-Pryor; and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
