Margaret “Peggy” passed away peacefully in her 92nd year. She is predeceased by her husband Ronald. Loving mother to Ann Shantz (nee Dodd) and mother-in-law to Mark Shantz. Peggy is also survived by her beloved granddaughter Abby. Peggy was born and raised in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland. She attended nursing college in London, England, where she practiced nursing for a number of years. It was in London that she met her husband Ron.

The family would like to thank the kind and caring staff at Thorne Mill on Steeles for making these last years dignified and comfortable for her. A funeral service will be held at the R.S.
