Phyllis Margaret Preston
1942-2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Phyllis Margaret
Preston announces her peaceful passing at the Dr. Everett Chalmers
Hospital on Wednesday, April 1, 2020, at the age of 77. Born in
Winterton, Newfoundland, on October 14, 1942, she was the loving wife
of Edward Joseph “E.J.” Preston.
Phyllis always greeted you with a smile and a kind word. She
would be forever making you laugh or pick you up when you were feeling
down. Always there to listen, understand patiently and give you her
peace of mind with a little grin. Phyllis was the solid foundation in
the family who always made everything right.
Phyllis raised her family of 5 while working in various
businesses that they owned over the years. She had been a very hard
worker all her life and fantastic mother -the best.
In addition to her husband of 56 years, E.J., Phyllis leaves
behind her 5 children that she loved unconditionally: her
sons, Edward Preston of Fredericton, Paul Preston of Ottawa, ON, Frank
Preston of St. John’s, Newfoundland, and David Preston of
Kingston, ON; daughter, Tamara Preston-Carr of Fredericton;
grandchildren, Booker and Bryce Preston of Kingston, ON, and Makayla
Carr of Fredericton; siblings, Victor Piercey, Will John Piercey,
Linda Piercey, Mary Clancy, all of Winterton, NL, and May Piercey of
Ontario.
Phyllis was predeceased by her parents, Rose (Walsh) and
William Piercey, and 9 other siblings in Newfoundland.
The family would like to thank the following: Dr A. Pond, Dr.
Raza, Dr. Swan, Julie Doucet, Dr. Goodyear and Dr. Gillis-Doyle and
the nurses at the Dr. Everett Hospital on 3E palliative care unit.
They all helped us through this difficult time.
Due to the current Public Advisory of COVID-19 no ceremony
will take place at this time, however, a service and a celebration of
Phyllis’ life will take place at a later date. For those who
wish, donations in her memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer
Society or Salvation Army Church.
