Mariecel "Lexie" Martizon Peck's Obituary
Mariecel “Lexie” Martizon Peck, age 47, passed away, Saturday, October 26, 2019 at her home in Bunnell, Florida after a long 5 year (2005-2007; 2016-2019) courageous battle with breast cancer. She was in the presence of her loving family.
Lexie was born on September 11, 1972 to the late Julio Martizon and Ofelia Martizon in Caloocan, Philippines. She was a high school graduate of Manila Central University in 1989 and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from University of the East, Caloocan in 1993. She was a hard motivated worker and had proven to be a great asset to her employers, landing managerial jobs. She is a mother to three wonderful children: Julia (22), Kenneth (21), and Chelsea (19).
Lexie was married in 1998. Unfortunately, the marriage failed in 2005, which was also the same year she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. She became a single mom while undergoing mastectomy and cancer treatments.
Lexie was never one to give up hope and faith. She was a member of the New Testament Faith Church in the Philippines—where her father was a pastor—and Flagler Beach Community Church. She had a very strong faith in God. Lexie, with God by her side, would continue sacrificing and dedicating her life for her children. This love is what eventually brought her to the United States, although, her plans had to be put on hold for her cancer had returned and a second mastectomy was performed in May 2016. Most people would find it very hard to continue on after this but not Lexie—never losing hope and her strong will, she would push forward.
In May 2018, Lexie had fallen in love and got married to her loving soul mate, Craig Peck of Bunnell, Florida. Their love for each other shined and they were extremely happy to begin their lives together, but their plans soon went to a different direction. In October 2018, Lexie’s cancer came back for the third time and the prognosis was terminal.
Lexie was the most caring, loving, faithful person and she would always stay positive. She was an inspiration to everyone she met. She had this certain glow about her for God was always guiding her. She would always put everyone else before herself. Her life story had touched so many here in the US and in her home country. She came from a family of artists and was also gifted in arts. Custom baking was her passion and her cakes were a piece of art. She loved to create videos that also demonstrated her gift of artistry, as well as doing makeup. She loved caring and spoiling her beloved pet shih tzus: Bubu (deceased), Milo, Oreo, and Charlie.
