Obituary: Helen Lorraine Feist

Helen Lorraine Feist, at 74

Helen Lorraine Feist of Weymouth, formerly a longtime resident of Hull, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Dec. 24, 2022. She was 74.

Mrs. Feist was born in Winthrop to Helen and William Peacock. When she was a child, she moved with her family to Hull, which she would call home for most of her life. She graduated from Hull High School and shortly after met Charles E. Feist. They started a family and were married for 55 years. She worked at Pyrotector Inc., Massa, and Weinberg’s Bakery.

However, her greatest source of pride came from caring for her family. In her spare time, Mrs. Feist loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. She also liked watching CSI and Law & Order while enjoying Coca Cola, an ice cream sandwich, and York Peppermint Patties. Mrs. Feist’s great sense of humor will be remembered by all who were lucky enough to have known her.

She was the beloved wife of 55 years of the late Charles E. Feist; devoted mother of Edie Foye and her husband, William, of Weymouth, Charlie Feist and his wife, Nanci, of N.Y., John Feist and his wife, Michelle, of Brockton, Chris Feist of Quincy, and Brian Feist and his wife, Tiffany, of Raynham. She was the loving sister of the late Dorothy Noddin of Hull, David Peacock of N.C., and William Peacock of Hull, and is survived by her sister, Carol Carney of Hull, and her brother, Dennis Peacock and his wife, Lois, also of Hull. She also is survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
