Obituary of Peggy Ann Kearns

KEARNS, Peggy Ann It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Peggy Ann Kearns. She passed away comfortably at the Hamilton General Hospital on January 27, 2009 after a brief illness. She is predeceased by her mother Pearl, her father Gordon and her common-law spouse, Wilf Turner. Born in St. John's, NFLD on August 28, 1942, Peggy moved to Toronto with her mom and dad when she was 11 yrs old. She later moved to Stoney Creek, Ont. where she met and married our father, Paul. She had 2 children, Bryan (Stoney Creek, Ont.) and Sherri (Greg McCallum, Kimberley, BC). She was our loving friend and very dear mother. Peggy worked in manufacturing (Camco, Hamilton) and health care (Rehabilitation Institute of Toronto) over the years. Most recently, she was a volunteer driver for the VON (Meals on Wheels), Hamilton, Ont. Those that knew Peggy were touched by her warm personality, gentle nature and love for laughter. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2009 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 58, 1180 Barton St. E., Hamilton from 2-4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, send donations to the MS Society, Hamilton Chapter, 5-94 Cannon St. W., Hamilton, Ont.
