She was born in Spartanburg, SC on December 4, 1924, to Dr. Walter Keith Hale and Katherine Fitzgerald Hale and was one of four children. Kit graduated from Spartanburg High School, where she served as Class President, and also from Winthrop College, where she earned a degree in sociology. She proudly worked as a social worker in Columbia and Spartanburg before her children were born. A poet and gardener at heart, Kit was a devoted wife of 47 years, a generous and unconditionally loving mother to her three children, and a proud grandmother to her two grandsons. She had strong empathy and affection for family and friends and was a gracious caregiver for sick and aging family members and friends over many years. She was delighted to have caring neighbors whose friendship she treasured. A devout Christian her entire life, Kit was an active member at Wedgewood Baptist Church in her own neighborhood, where she had many cherished friends and a lively social life. Earlier she had been a member of St. John's Baptist Church for nearly 50 years, active in the Women's Missionary Union and in a faithful prayer group. She was a member of the Lori Book Club for 45 years. Kit loved being outdoors, rarely missing a day working in her yard, often until long after dark, so she could take flowers to friends. She was a charming Southern lady whose radiant smile and personal warmth characterized every encounter. Kit delighted in meeting people and was quick to offer newcomers a welcome. Her committed faith and unceasingly optimistic outlook were her strengths. Gratitude for all of God's gifts, especially family and friendships, resonated in all her conversations. She will be honored in blessed memory and greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched, especially her daughter Susan Green of Charlotte; son Ray F. Peck, Jr., and wife Martha of Raleigh; son Steven L. Peck of Mt. Pleasant, SC; grandsons Jason and David Peck of Arlington, VA; sister Emma Hale Hyatt of Spartanburg, SC; brother-in-law Ray H. Morgan of Rock Hill, SC; niece Kathy Hyatt Clark and husband Bob of Sebring, FL; nephew George S. Hyatt, Jr., and wife Tammy of Lexington, SC; nephew Dr. Ray H. Morgan, Jr. and wife Missy of Kennesaw, GA; niece Lynn Morgan Holmes of Abbeville, SC; sister-in-law Martha Wingo, niece Robin Wilson and husband Mark, niece Linda Ebert and husband Dick, all of Spartanburg, SC; nephew Steve Robison and wife Pam of Matthews, NC. She had numerous Fitzgerald cousins for whom she held deep affection and wonderful memories. The family is especially appreciative of the exceptional and loving personal care Kit was given by Ofa Tonga, her daughters Seini Draughan and Loleini Tonga, her niece Nau Vailea, and her sister-in-law Seini Vailahi. Kit was pre-deceased by her husband of 46 years, Ray F. Peck; her brother Walter Keith Hale, Jr.; her sister Mary Hughes Morgan; and her nephew Walter Hale Hyatt.
