Edna M. (Hill) Peters, 84, of Overlook Avenue in Andover, died Saturday, November 19, 2022, at the Concord Hospital surrounded by family members.

She was born in Franklin on February 13, 1938, the daughter of Richard Graham and Rachel (Woodward) Hill, and grew up in Danbury

Edna graduated from Andover High School and had worked in various area homes as a housekeeper.  After that, she was employed by Proctor Academy for over 38 years, retiring as a baker.  She had resided in Andover since 1961.

She is predeceased by two sons, Richard and Gary Peters; three sisters, Barbara Evans, Margaret Thomas, and Carol Jean Gallagher; and a brother, Graham “Terry” Hill.  Edna is survived by her husband of 64 years (65 in December), Robert E. Peters of Andover; a son, Glenn Peters and his wife Susan of Stoddard, New Hampshire; four grandchildren, Haley, Tucker, Jaron, and Brittany; a great grandson Caden, and many nieces and nephews.

She loved her grandchildren and new great grandson immensely and spoke of their life and accomplishments to anyone who would listen!  The ‘Cookie Lady’ or ‘Waffle Lady’ was also known as the adoptive grandmother to many students at Proctor Academy and the servery in the Dining Hall was named in her honor.  Many Proctor students have now spread her warmth throughout the world.
