Peggy Ann Simpson
1948-2019
Peggy Ann Simpson, 70,
of Hillsborough passed away peacefully on April
23rd, 2019 at the Moncton Hospital after a
courageous battle with cancer with her family by her
side.
Peggy was born in Hillsborough on June
30,1948, the daughter of the late Cecil Edward
« John » and Nina (Steeves) Ward.
Peggy worked with the Salvation Army
at Lakeview Manor for many years. She was
a member of the Salem Baptist Church and attended faithfully when she
was able. Peggy had many hobbies; she enjoyed gardening and
her beautiful flower gardens that surrounded her house were proof of
her passion. She enjoyed a good card game especially her regular
Bridge games, she enjoyed doing cross stitch and many of them were
framed and given to family members. She was an avid golfer
and could be found at the Hillsborough Golf Course
on a regular basis which may have been a family trait, as they are all
golfers. Peggy lived her life to the fullest and her main
priority was her family. She was always willing to
give up her time to be there when needed. She was the rock
of the family; her strength and ability to take whatever came her way
was shown throughout her battle with cancer, her positive attitude and
perseverance never wavered. Peggy will be remembered for her
great sense of humour and ability to laugh in all
situations. She would want everyone to save their tears and
remember the love you shared and all the good times. Those we
love don’t go away they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but
always near. « Always in our hearts ».
She will be deeply missed by her daughters, Tammy Woodworth
(Jeff) of Hillsborough and Shelley Simpson (Mike) of Moncton; son,
David Simpson (Kelly) of Hillsborough; her cherished grandchildren,
Melissa, Jordan, Ryan, Jocelyn, Tyler, Jared, Alex and Paige and 6
treasured great grandchildren; sisters, Linda Wissink (Derk) of
Moncton, Connie MacDonald of Riverside-Albert, Judy DerFong of
Moncton; brothers, Johnny Ward of Moncton and Peter Ward (Tamie) of
Salem; sisters-in-law, Diane Geldart (Vincent) and Susan Steeves
(John) both of Edgett’s Landing. She will also be
missed by several nieces and nephews and many good
friends.
Besides her parents she was predeceased by her husband,
Grant Allan ‘Hammer » Simpson in 2017.
Honouring Peggy’s own wishes there will be no
visitation. A Celebration of her life and Memorial Service
will be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Saturday April 27th,
2019 at 2:00pm with Pastor Dan Steeves and Pastor Leonard Geldart
