STARKES
Peggy (Margaret)
Peggy (Margaret) Starkes, age 71, of Bedford NS, gently passed away June 14, 2018. Born in St. John’s NL, she was the daughter of Japheth and Hilda (Spurrell) Starkes. Peggy was a proud Newfoundlander, who loved life, her family, and her friends. Known by most for her sense of humour, strong determination, kindness, contagious smile, and love of laughter. Peggy’s passions included singing, skating, reading, and sharing good food and wine, with good people. She was fiercely proud of her children and grandchildren, and her greatest sense of loss was the knowledge she would leave them behind. Peggy leaves behind daughters Gina and Heidi, sons-in-law Steve Brown and Rob Delvallet, grandchildren Joshua, Will & Kate Brown and Abby & Hannah Delvallet as well as a large devoted family of sisters and brothers, and much loved nieces & nephews. The funeral service will be held Tuesday, June 19th at 5pm at Bethany United Church, 7171 Clinton Ave, Halifax NS. Cremation and arrangements have taken place under the care of T.J. Tracey Cremation and Burial Specialists (902-835-4212). A special thank you to Peggy’s skating friends, book club friends, and choir friends for their selfless support. Also, to the Palliative Care team in the Centennial Building, thank you for helping Peggy and her family through the most difficult times. Finally, there aren’t words to express the gratitude to family members who gave so much of themselves to Mom in her last months.
