                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 4, 2015

  Mr. HURT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I submit these remarks to 
commemorate the life of Codie Carter Peters who passed away January 25, 
2015.
  Mrs. Peters was a pillar in the Charlottesville community. She was a 
successful actress and small business owner and a loving mother and 
grandmother. Active and passionate about politics, she served for six 
years in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Republican Women's League, two 
of them as its president.
  Codie Peters lived her life with an intense dedication to the persons 
and causes she loved. Whether she was asserting her opinion on an issue 
of national importance or speaking of her beautiful family, the twinkle 
in her eyes was always present. Codie relished sharing with all what 
she had in abundance: a love of family, a love of life, and a love of 
country. Her delight in her commitment to her husband, Steve, was 
infectious; they were partners in everything, from tending to their 
family to their public service in politics.
  Codie Peters will long be remembered for her dedication and her 
passion. She was predeceased by her parents and is survived and fondly 
remembered by her husband, Steven L. Peters; her daughter, Katherine J. 
Peters; her son-in-law, William A. Finn; and her two grandchildren, 
Bennett Grace and William Patrick Finn.
  My thoughts remain with the Peters family, and I am grateful for the 
opportunity to have known Codie Peters and to remember the wonderful 
life she led.
