Ran into Mark Newton at Walmart in Lebanon and he told me that his wife passed away early Thursday morning after an eight year battle with breast cancer. Mark transfered to KTP. They resided in Lebanon and she was a teacher in Nelson Co. for 25 yrs. Visitation will be at Bosley Funeral Home in Lebanon beginning on Sunday. Sorry I don't have any other info.

Tammy Peavy Newton LEBANON - NEWTON, TAMMY PEAVY, 48, passed away Thursday, September 23, 2010 at Norton Hospital in Louisville.
She was born on June 7, 1962 in Lebanon, and was a devoted member of the Lebanon United Methodist Church. She was a Sunday school teacher, served as a member of the Staff Parish Relation Committee and a greeter for late service. She fought a long and hard battle with cancer for eight years and was an inspiration to many who had cancer.
Tammy was employed by the Marion County Board of Education for 25 years and was a teacher at West Marion Elementary School in Loretto, KY. She loved all of her students very much and always inspired them and her colleagues to strive for their best. Tammy touched so many lives not only during her battle with cancer but also during her years as a teacher. She received the First Fred Award three years ago for her extraordinary passion in and out of the classroom and how that passion inspired not only her students but her colleagues and community. She was a graduate of Marion County High School and received her associate's degree from St. Catharine College and her bachelor's degree from Eastern Kentucky University. She also received her master's degree from Western Kentucky University.
She was the beloved wife of Mark Newton; devoted mother of Ann-Rachelle Newton and Adrian Tanner Newton; daughter of Rachel and Sonny Peavy; sister of Terry Peavy (Carol); and granddaughter of Gladys Peavy.
She was preceded by her maternal grandparents, Fanny and Elmer Minor; and paternal grandfather, Henry Peavy.
