Judy Kaye Peak Canter, 74, of Asheville, passed away Monday, March 9, 2020 at her home.

A native of Richlands, VA, Judy was a daughter of the late Lee Frank Peak and Lois Agnes McCray Peak.

Judy, along with her husband Charles, was the joint owner of Legacy Makers, Inc. of Asheville. She was a member of Trinity Baptist Church.

Judy was first and foremost a Christ follower, wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend.

As a teenager she was active in Christ Ambassadors and sang in a sextet. After marrying Charles, they moved to various cities as his position warranted. In early adulthood she was an office manager, licensed cosmetologist , and owned and operated Shenandoah Catering.

As a ministry of the church she taught Straight Arrows and many Sunday School classes with Charles. In addition, she and her Mother had a weekly ministry to the senior citizens of the church where they provided home cooked meals as well as entertainment and games.
