sist with the investigation. Anytime we have a death in a fire, we like to get them involved. They have more resources.” Although there are reports Peeler succumbed to smoke, Turney said the exact cause of death is not known at this time as investigation into the blaze continues. A New Mexico native and raised in Muleshow, Peeler was well known in the community after moving to Hereford with
her husband, Buddy, in 1968. The duo started and ran Christian radio station KNNK in Hereford. Peeler was also known for her work with area children as executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hereford for a dozen years from the mid-1980s to late 1990s. A memorial service for Peeler is scheduled for noon Saturday at Parkside Funeral Chapel in Hereford.
