Maurice (Maury) Edward Peters was born to Clarence and Margaret (Ball) Peters in New Hampton, Iowa on October 5, 1933. Maurice married Maria Louisa Alvarez on February 23, 1973, in Chula Vista, California. After retiring from the US Navy, Maury and Maria returned to Chula Vista and purchased their home, staying close to their children and their families.
Maury grew up in New Hampton during the post-depression years which shaped his character and spawned his powerful work ethic. He graduated from New Hampton High School in 1951. After a brief employment at Rath Packing in Waterloo, Iowa, he and his brother, Robert, enlisted in the US Navy in 1952. Maurice started his naval career as a ship fitter and attained the highest enlisted rank in his field as a Hull Technician Master Chief Petty Officer. He retired from the Navy after 24 years of service in 1978 and continued working at the Long Beach Naval Ship Yard as a project foreman until 1990.
His family held him in high regard and saw him as a hard worker and a very giving and caring human being. He was an extremely loyal family person. His passions were his family, his rose bushes, and his fruit trees, to which he devoted much care and love. He will be greatly missed by all!
He is survived by his wife, Maria; four step children, Cesar, Linda, Tom, and Dolores; six grand children, Clyde, Eric, Rich, Inga, Rocky, and Melina; nine great grand children, Kayla, Alysa, Savannah, Alixis, Madison, Cassidy, Megan, Zachary, and Michael; and his brother Larry (Chris) Peters.
Maury was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Margaret; and his siblings, Robert, Rose Ann, and Vern.
