In loving memory of

Charity Ann Peterson

Charity Ann Peterson was born 04/08/1992 in Houston Texas to her parents Elizabeth and Rusty Thomas. She grew up in a large family in Waco Texas until marrying Joshua Peterson and moving to Minnesota at the age of 18. She and Josh had two children, Chloe and Julian Peterson. She spent 8 years in Minnesota until finally convincing her husband to move away from the cold and live in Arizona. After living in the sunshine state for just under a year, she tragically passed away on 12/26/2019 at 10:50am from organ failure at the age of 27. Charity was loving, kind and spunky. She loved shoes, dancing and anything that sparkled; She had the best, quirkiest sense of humor and a laugh/smile that was contagious. She always supported others dreams; her husband said she always told him she was proud of him and supported him even when he thought he didn't deserve it. She adored her children and would have given anything just for them to have the best life. She had dreams of starting her own business, travelling the world and starting her own Non-Profit for abused women. She just wanted to give people a reason to smile. Visitation will be held from 3:30-4pm, with funeral service at 4PM, Sunday, December 29, 2019, Oasis Community Church, 15014 N. 56th St., Scottsdale.

"Dear Family of Charity and Jeremiah, what a friend we have in Jesus all our griefs to bear. What a comfort it is to know that Jeremiah and Jesus have welcomed Charity there. Touched very much by watching the documentary Babies are still Murdered Here , especially to hear that even in his final few moments Jeremiah gave 2 thumbs up an inspiration to us all. 30 years of fighting for the preborn in Canada from Niagara Falls I am sending love."
