Peacefully at the Souris Hospital on Friday, October 28, 2022, the death occurred of Eldon Joseph Peters. He was aged 75 years of Souris and formerly Charlottetown, PE.
He will be forever loved by his son Nick Waddell (Tara) and deeply missed by his siblings Theresa Gallant, Winnie Murphy-Cantelo (Raymond), Bernice MacPherson, Elaine O’Connor, Bernie (Teresa), James (Donna), Jack (Margaret) and Hammond (Karen) along with numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Frank and Annie Peters, and brothers-in-law Leonard Gallant, Greg Murphy, Henry MacDonald, Charlie MacPherson and Joe O’Connor.
Eldon will be remembered for his positivity and cheerful attitude despite the mobility challenges he faced in his later life. It was common to see Eldon out and about in Souris making his regular scooter run. He would give a big wave and always have time for a chat. He also loved participating in the activities at the Bayview Lodge which included crafts, listening to the Saturday Night Hoedown, and playing bingo (which was his favorite). He will be lovingly remembered by all the residences of the Lodge which he considered his second family.
The family would also like to acknowledge the exceptional care given to Eldon by the staff and caregivers during his time there. Their compassion will always be remembered.
A service of remembrance will take place at the Lighthouse Baptist Church, Souris on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, at 2:00pm. A celebration of life for family and friends will take place at a later date. If so desired, donations in memory of Eldon can be made to the Diabetes Canada or the Eastern Kings Health Foundation (Souris Hospital).
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Eldon Joseph Peters March 2nd 1947 October 28th 2022..
