Voloria Ann Todd Peele Obituary
ROCKY MOUNT – Voloria Ann Todd Peele, age 78, passed away on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. Born in Nash County, NC on February 16, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Curtis Randolph Todd and Catherine Valoria Williams Todd. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 26 years, Kerney Thomas “Tommy” Peele and her brother, Curtis “Randy” Randolph Todd, Jr.

Voloria, a longtime member of Southside Baptist Church, exemplified unwavering devotion to her faith. Her retirement marked the culmination of a distinguished career as a nurse in the medical field, where her compassion and expertise touched countless lives. Outside the halls of healing, Voloria found solace and joy in nurturing her garden, reveling in the beauty of nature. Alongside her beloved husband Tommy, she embarked on adventures, exploring the world together. As active members of the ECU Pirate Club, Voloria and Tommy shared a passion for the college. Yet, above all titles and affiliations, Voloria was cherished as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and cherished friend to all fortunate enough to know her.
