- RayLee M. Peeters, age 48, of Clintonville, passed away Friday, October 9, 2015 at ThedaCare Medical Center, New London, after a courageous battle with cancer.
RayLee Mary Peeters was born on October 14, 1966 at New London Hospital to Raymond and Mary (Jarvais) Peeters. RayLee was raised in Bear Creek where she attended St. Marys Catholic School and then she went on to Clintonville High School, graduating in 1984. While in high school she worked for a few years as an announcer with the Clintonville radio station. That led to her to a studio job with WHBY 1570 AM in Appleton which she enjoyed for a few years. After the radio station, she was employed at Clintonville Motors for close to 14 years in the warranty and rental department area. But by 1996 she left her job at the Ford dealership to follow her dream and move to Nashville, TN. For some time she was a manager at the Grand Ole Opry Hotel, Nashville, and also worked a short time as a secretary for the State of Tennessee. RayLee returned home in 2005 and worked in the office at L & S Truck Center, Appleton. But after a little while, she took a job as a production scheduler at Seagrave Fire Apparatus, Clintonville. RayLee went back to college in her spare time and earned two bachelors degrees, in Administration and Business from the University of Phoenix in 2008. After a few years of employment at FWD, RayLee became the executive secretary to the companies CEO.
Her hobbies included collecting antiques; dishes, linens, tablecloths, and lots of other items. RayLee always enjoyed music; she was an incredible singer and could also play the guitar. For many years, she was lead singer in a band called Thunder Country which did a lot of performances in the area. She also was a DJ for numerous weddings and parties. RayLee especially liked acting in plays at the Mielke Theater in Shawano and her favorite character that she had the honor to portray was Maria in The Sound of Music. Even though music was important to RayLee, her daughter was the greatest thing in her life and often times everything revolved around Emilee.
Survivors include her teenage daughter, Emilee, her mother, Mary (Paul) Peeters-Flanagan of Bear Creek, and her fiancé, Tim Steinke of Clintonville. There are three sisters, Linda (special friend Ron) Peeters of Bell, FL, Lisa Peeters of Bear Creek, and Anica (special friend Teddy) Peeters of Trenton, FL.
