EASTON – Amelia E. Peers, 69, passed away peacefully July 27, 2005, with her children, and sisters, Uva and Roberta by her side, left to join her late husband, Calvin Peers Sr. who predeceased her in 1996. She was born Nov. 4, 1935, in Mars Hill, to the late Almon Spurgeon, and Jessie (Sparks) Boyd.

She was predeceased by one brother, John Boyd; son-in-law, Arnold Kinney; and grandson, Travis Kinney. Amy worked many years at the Presque Isle Nursing Home, then McCain Foods, until she chose to stay home to care for her sick husband. Amy always had an open door, and a cup of coffee to all who came, and will be sadly missed by her special friends, Diane Michaud, Frank Whittaker, Melvin Cleaves, Angie Johnson, Barb Moirs, Richard and Judy Kennedy and Mable Tardy. Amy chose to have no calling hours and a private family graveside service at the Peers Family Cemetery in Caswell. Those who wish, may make a donation to Visiting Nurses of Aroostook, Hospice of Aroostook, P.O. Box 688, Caribou, ME 04736-9976, or Oncology at TAMC, who provided her with such compassionate care.
