Peggy passed away peacefully on July 22nd, leaving behind her beloved husband of 63 years Guy, cherished by her children Linda (Gary), Claude (Shawn), Dean, grandchildren Aaron and Nicole, and step grand child Eden.
Born Peggy Darwin in Nelson BC, where she was known for her prowess on the baseball field. Always up for adventure, she left home after high school to join the RCAF and was stationed in St. Hubert’s air force base in Montreal, where she met the love of her life Guy. After having their three children in Halifax, Vancouver, and Kamloops, Peggy was very involved in community volunteer work, including minor hockey, baseball, figure skating, and the Brocklehurst Recreation Center that she was so proud of.
Peggy’s biggest love after her family was playing golf with her dear friends for more than 30 years at KGCC & the Dunes. She loved a cold beer after the game and was known for her fun-loving spirit and great sense of humor.
In recent years, she visited her dear Guy at the Hamlets daily, where her gregarious personality touched the lives of all who knew her for the past eight years.
Peggy now joins those loved ones who left before her. Her mother Mary, sister Anne, and dear friends Bobbi and Bev. She will be forever missed, always loved, and never forgotten.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to all the caring staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. Your kindness, caring, an generosity made Peggy’s final weeks as comforting as possible. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at 3-west at RIH, who cared for Peg in the early stages of her illness.
A celebration of Peg’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice.
