After a brief illness, the flame of a ‘life well lived’ was extinguished on Monday, August 29, 2016. It is with sadness that the Preston and Shorey families announce the passing of their matriarch in her 100th year. Born in Brantford, Ontario to Lyle and Spencer Large. Peggy was the beloved wife of the late John C. Preston. She will be fondly remembered by her daughter, Mags Shorey (Roger) of Oakville, and her son, John Preston (Monika) of Palm Beach, Florida, her grandchildren Susie Shorey (Jamie List), Preston Shorey (Stephanie), David Shorey (Casey), Stephen Preston (Nicole) and Jeff Preston (Cameron). She delighted in being Gi-Gi to thirteen awesome great grandchildren. She will fondly be remembered for what she did for others. We will miss her knitting, needlepoint, jams and yummy soups. Great memories abound!
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the “I-Care” Fund at the Oakville Hospital Foundation (905-338-4642 or www.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com) would be appreciated. Peggy set this fund up to help those in need who are experiencing a health issue.
A Celebration of her life will take place at First United Church, 151 Lakeshore Rd West, Mississauga at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 6, 2016. Visitation will be 1 hour prior.
