Audree Estelle Peters (November 11, 1933 – January 30, 2026) Audree Estelle Peters, formerly Whaley, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on November 11, 1933, Audree lived a life defined by love, devotion, and deep connection to family and friends. On November 9, 1957, she married the love of her life, William L. “Bill” Peters (USMC). Together they built a beautiful life and shared 53 years of marriage until his passing on December 25, 2010. Audree was a devoted mother to two children: her son, Randall “Randy” Peters, and her daughter, Dr. Sharon Bloch. Her family was her greatest joy. She is lovingly remembered by her grandchildren, Tasha Krug; William J. Peters (USMC); and Chaim “Chip” Bloch; as well as her great-grandchildren, Kadyn Krug, Kasyn Peters, and Mylenni Gonzalez. Audree had a gift for friendship and was blessed with many cherished lifelong friends. She devoted her life to caring for others, always putting family first and offering kindness without hesitation. She had a lifelong love of college basketball and was an avid fan of the Chicago Bears, both of which she followed with enthusiasm throughout her life. Selfless, loving, and deeply devoted, Audree will be forever missed and always remembered. A private family memorial will be held in the spring. Audree will be laid to rest alongside her husband at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. In keeping with her wishes, in lieu of flowers or donations, she encouraged everyone to take a friend to lunch. Audree believed life is about connection and spending time with those we care about. To honor her, her family will celebrate her life with a private luncheon and gather with her dearest friends to remember the love and legacy she leaves behind.
