Jerome E Peuler

Jerome E. Peuler, Jr passed away in the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore on Sunday morning, June 19, 2022, at the age of 78. Jerry was born and grew up in New Orleans, LA. He was preceded in death by his parents Maxine Bautovich Peuler and Jerome E. Peuler, Sr and his sister Mary Peuler Crowley. He graduated from the University of Louisianna in 1967 and was commissioned an officer in the United States Air Force. He proudly served world-wide and after 20 years retired to LaPlata, MD where he has lived for the past 36 years. During that time he was twice elected to the office of County Treasurer. Jerry had a generous, loving spirit and lived his whole life in service to his country and his fellow citizens. During his years in Boy Scout Troop 150 in New Orleans, he attained the rank of Eagle Scout and was awarded the “Silver Pelican” as the most outstanding Boy Scout in the New Orleans area. In high school he joined and became president of the Key Club. That exposure to the good works of Kiwanis led him to a life-long involvement with Kiwanis where he held several offices and was elected to the International Board of Trustees. He was the first Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity in Southern Maryland and also served as a board member of the United Way of Charles County Maryland. In addition he was a member of the Restore and Renew Capital Committee of the historic St. Ignatius Church in Port Tobacco MD. Survivors include his wife Judith Davenport Peuler, daughter Amy Peuler Cuthbertson, (Charles), sister Ann Peuler Lalumia, nieces Jennifer Lalumia Brown (Barlow) and Jessica Lalumia Duplantis (Casey), one great niece and two great nephews and sister-in-law Kristine Burke (John). He is also survived by his faithful Golden Retriever Carrie, one of many rescued animals he adopted in his lifetime. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society of Charles County MD (71 Industrial Park Drive, Waldorf MD 20602) or the Restore and Renew Capital Committee of St. Ignatius Catholic Church, (8855 Chapel Point Rd, Port Tobacco MD 20677). Burial in Arlington National Cemetery will be at a later date to be determined.
