Peggy was a faithful and contributing member of Grace Chapel, Sherbrooke, Quebec. Peggy is well known for tirelessly giving of her time, talents and energy to many organizations throughout her long and vibrant life. For many years she worked as a volunteer for the Sherbrooke Welfare distributing clothing and food to families in need even offering her home as a refuge for periods of time to these families. Auntie Peggy and Uncle Harold were part of the founding members of the Christian Youth Camp, Frontier Lodge at Lake Wallace where she either did the cooking for over 100 participants or was responsible for hiring the cook and ordering all the food supplies for over 30 years. Peggy and Harold were responsible for the start up of Maplemount Children's Home in Cookshire, Quebec. After taking care of her elderly aunt in her own home Peggy received an inheritance that included a request that the money be used to build a home for the elderly in the community. In honour of this request Peggy became a Founding Member of Grace Christian Home from the planning stages to the opening in 1957 to what is now Grace Village of the Massawippi Retirement Communities. All who knew Peggy will remember the warm and welcoming manner with which she received friends, relatives and those in need at her door in Lennoxville and at Lake Wallace.
