Peggy Fenety (born Margaret Anne Campbell) died March 15th of complications arising from a stroke at the age of 83. Peggy spent most of her childhood in Montreal until the family moved to Glenwood in the St. John River Valley during WWII. She continued her studies in Montreal at MacDonald College until the boyfriend she had met at Browns Flat during summer holidays, Bill Fenety, proposed at the end of the war. They were married in Fredericton where they raised four children, Steven, Dan, Joan and Amy. She worked at the Political Science Department at UNB until her retirement at 62. In retirement she was a 'girl on the go.' She loved spending time with her grandchildren and following their lives as they grew into young adults. She enjoyed meeting new people and delighted in bowling with her friends, swimming at the YMCA and travelling the world. She found great solace in nature and would happily spend hours at her cottage, the Sanctuary, puttering in her garden, watching the loons on the lake and the birds in the field. Peggy also took a keen interest in the world of business and enjoyed keeping on top of the financial ebbs and flows. She will be sorely missed by her children and her grandchildren Dylan and Alana Gullison and Erin Fenety.
