It is with heavy hearts that we, the family, announce the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother, and wife, Peggy on Thursday, November 28, 2013, at home, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Sydney on November 16, 1937, Peggy was the daughter of the late Cecil and Evelyn (Lively) French.
Peggy’s unwavering Faith in God was very evident throughout her life. Her unselfish nature, kindness and compassion made her much loved and she will be sadly missed by all those whose lives she has touched and who had the privilege of knowing her. Everyone looked forward to receiving her generous hugs which were cherished by all. Her family was the center of her life. She lived life to the fullest every day and her heart and home was open to family and friends at all times. She will always be remembered by her beautiful smile. None knew her but to love her, none named her but to praise her.
Peggy will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Eric; her children, Sherry (Phillip) Nearing, Prince George, Wendy (Dougie), Sydney, Scott (Mona) Sydney, Tracey (Helen), Sydney, Brent, Dartmouth, Trevor (Cathy), Sydney. She is survived by her siblings, Beverly (Elmer) Muise, Germaine (Ken) McLeod, Debbie (Jack) Lessie, David (Mary) French; sister-in-law, Annette; and her grandchildren Jason, Mark, Laura Lee, Lindsay, Matthew, Brittany, Ryan, Aiden, and Andrew; as well as the many nieces and nephews she truly adored. Peggy is also survived by Eric’s children, Cecilia (Gene) Stanford, Toronto and Darren Brophy, Sydney and Eric’s grandchildren, Kira, Katelin, Kristien, and Kassidy.
Besides her parents, Peggy was predeceased by her first husband, Harry Thomas Burt, brothers, Johnnie, Bobby, Terry, Eddie, and Ronnie.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Holy Redeemer Church on Monday, December 2, 2013 at 11 a.m. with Fr. Paul Murphy officiating. Light refreshments will be served following the mass at Pier Community Funeral Home, reception area. Interment will take place in Resurrection Cemetery, Sydney Forks.
In lieu of flowers, an “act of kindness” towards others would be a great tribute to Mom’s Memory.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
