Peggy was a very special woman and will be sorely missed by her family and numerous dear friends. She had a warm heart and showed great affection to so many people. She was a devoted mother and proud Grammie who always put her family first. She loved cooking, her church, taking walks on the NB trail and working in her garden. A woman who faced many challenges throughout her life, she always persevered with great strength and determination and was a true inspiration. Highly dedicated to her community, she felt most alive when volunteering and devoting her time to helping those in need. Many considered her a second mother because they knew that her door would always be open. We will miss having tea with her, her hugs and her warm smile. Peggy was an endless source of kindness and love and we will miss her so much.
