Geneva Virginia Clark Peyton, 91, passed away peacefully at home on May 23, 2026, surrounded by her daughters.
Born on March 25, 1935, in Glengary, West Virginia, Geneva was the daughter of Daisy Evelyn Clark and Jospeh Daniels Clark and the oldest of 8 children. On December 24, 1953, she married John “Jack” Francis Peyton, and together they built a family of five daughters: Patricia Cote (deceased); Cheryl Larsen (Jeff Larsen) of Chesapeake Beach, MD; Laurie Peyton (Michael Mooradian) of North Beach, MD; Nancy Schulte (Michael Schulte) of Tarpon Springs, FL; and Kathy Peyton (Charles LoRocco) of Abingdon, MD. Geneva was also blessed with 15 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Her family was her pride and joy, and she devoted her life to her faith and family.
A longtime resident of North Beach, Geneva faithfully served her community for many years as Postmaster of the North Beach Post Office. She was a dedicated member of Bayside Baptist Church, where she served in many capacities, including as a Sunday School teacher. Her strong faith, generous spirit, and caring heart touched countless lives.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jack, her daughter Patricia, her parents and brothers and sisters.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Bayside Baptist Church in Chesapeake Beach, MD on July 18th at 12:00 pm, with a reception to follow at the church.

The world is a better place because of women such as Geneva Peyton. She was a sweet and kind person dedicated to her family. She’s also responsible for giving the world wonderful children, grand children and great grandchildren. My life was impacted by her compassion and kindness. My life will continue to be impacted by her love and decency’s she instilled in her girls. If you knew her, Geneva’s goodness touched you too.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Peyton family. RIP Mom Peyton
