Miriam "Micki" Peck,
(nee Beck) June 15, 2025, age 97, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, formerly of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Beloved wife of Bernard Peck (OBM). Cherished mother of Karen (Alan Katz) Peck Katz and Jodi (Les Weil) Peck. Dear sister of Carol (Howard, OBM) Orloff. Adoring grandmother of Adam (Laura) Peck, Camilla (Jonathan) Adelman, Rebecca (Seth) Wahlberg, Elizabeth (Scott) Behrendt, David (Melissa) Weil, Kirk (Susan) Weil, Kelly Weil (OBM), and 12 great-grandsons. Further survived by other relatives and friends.
Miriam was born in Chicago on July 5, 1927, to Rosalyn and Otto Beck. Her life was rooted in love, tradition, and a deep commitment to her family and community. A lifelong supporter of charitable causes, Miriam was deeply involved with the Peck Foundation. She lived her life with compassion and generosity.
A perfect night for Miriam was dinner with friends and then on to the theatre. Her family and friends meant the world to her. She was an excellent listener with impeccable common sense, making her everyone's sounding board.
She loved surrounding herself with beautiful things whether it was art or stunning flowers.
A celebration of Miriam's life will be held on Sunday, June 22, 2025, 1 PM at Congregation Shalom, 7630 N Santa Monica Blvd, Fox Point, and will be live streamed on YouTube @congregationshalommilw.

Shiva will follow the service until 5 pm, and again on Tuesday, June 24th 4-6 pm, at the Adelman home, 8041 N Gray Log Ln, Fox Point.
In Miriam's memory, the family would appreciate donations to Vision Forward, 912 N. Hawley Rd, Milwaukee, WI, 53213 https://vision-forward.org/donate or to a charity of your choice.
May her memory be for a blessing.

To the beloved family and friends of Mickie. My deepest condolences over the passing of Mickie. She was a Queen! She always had the time for a chat, she was a most wonderful listener, engaged conversationalist...We enjoyed sharing stories of my parents, Bob and June, my grandmother Dorothy and Bernie“s Mom, Lillian. Our shared family history goes back over 100 years....but I most loved talking with her in Ft Lauderdale. She loved showing me her needlepoint, pridefully talking about all of her great grandsons, sharing her adventures and telling me to "feel her core"! She was an inspiration of just how to live on every level. I shall truly miss her. My condolences and love to all who loved her....she will be in my heart forever also!

May her memory be a blessing.....
With deepest sympathies,
Jill Becker Wilson
