Margaret (Peggy) Hiscock , Feb.5 1932 -Jan.9,2022
The family of Peggy Hiscock are very sad to announce the
passing of Peggy on January 9, 2022 in Barrie, just shy of her
90th birthday.
Peggy was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland where she married
her childhood sweetheart, Billy Millar and raised their two
daughters, Margaret (Harrison) and Laura (Maund). Her courage
and determination in her Belfast community became a local
legend when she fearlessly stood up against armed terrorist gang
members during “ The Troubles “. Peggy was always fierce in
defence of her principles and fiercely loyal to those she loved .
After the death of Billy in 1995, Peggy joined her daughters and
grandchildren in Canada where she became an enthusiastic and
proud Canadian. For over 20 years, she was active in her
Orangeville community, attending St. Marks Anglican Church and
all Seniors Centre events .
At a Valentines Day dance at the Lord Dufferin Centre , she met
the second love of her life, Ron Hiscock. Peggy and Ron married
in the Lord Dufferin in 2001 and shared some wonderful years
together before his death.
Peggy will be dearly missed by her daughters Margaret (George)
and Laura (Doug) as well as her grandchildren Mark (Sue) and
Jamie. Also by her great grandson Jack as well as her honorary
grandchildren , Peter (Amanda) and Liam (Walker).
A celebration of Peggy’s remarkable life will be held at a later
date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Headwaters Health Care
Centre would be appreciated by her family .
Peggy left her loved ones with wonderful memories and she lived
a good and valuable life. She is deeply loved and forever in our
hearts.
