Jennifer Peckham
1956 – 2020
It’s with sadness we announce that our beloved Jennifer Lynn (Mack) Peckham, 64, passed away peacefully in her home on Tuesday, December 15, 2020, after a short battle with cancer.
Jen was a beloved mother, wife and friend to many. Jennifer is survived by her children, Glen and Katie. She was an inspiration to her children in the way she lived her life, and loved them fiercely.
Born on August 4, 1956 in Medicine Hat, Jennifer was the daughter of the late Edward and Kathleen Mack. As a young woman, Jen began working at Canada Post eventually dedicating over 25 years of loyal service to her community. It was while on her daily mail route that she met her partner in life, the late Jeffrey Peckham. Together they travelled the world, having many adventures, including their greatest adventure of all – creating a family together with Glen and Katie.
Home was where Jen felt most at peace. She was a wonderful cook, spending much of her time in the kitchen. Jen loved playing music in her home, and collected records from all genres. She particularly loved 70’s rock, and felt most comfortable in a band tshirt and jeans.
Jen loved animals, particularly her cat, Domo. She had a great sense of humour and loved laughing with her children. She will always leave a legacy of care, warmth, and strong sense of family.
The family wish to extend their greatest appreciation for all of the love and care Jen received at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital during the last days of her life.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, a Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Jennifer Peckham 1956 2020..
Death notice for the town of: Medicine-Hat, Province: Alberta
Our sincere condolences to Katie and Glen. We moved to Medicine Hat 5 years ago from Toronto, and Jen and Katie were the first people we met, making us feel so welcome in starting our new lives here. As well, while we were still living in Ontario, my son Alexander had moved to Medicine Hat a couple of years ahead of us, and Jen made him feel so at home. He called her his second mom and that’s how he felt in his heart. Jen will be missed a great deal. We will miss seeing her lovely smile and those crazy Halloween costumes here and Katie always came up with. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul Ninon and Mike Deal
So very sorry for your loss Glen and Katie. Your mom was an amazing person. She will be missed by many.
