Peggie will be missed in our neighborhood. Her front porch was a welcome gathering spot for a chat and or a beverage.
She took great pride in her neat and tidy gardens and she loved her house and neighbours in the hood. Her yellow irises, which she shared with me, are blooming bright this month.

On behalf of Julie, myself and Annie, we are very sorry to hear of Aunt Peggie’s passing. We have very fond memories of her. She was our cosmopolitan/cultural aunt. She would orchestrate trips downtown, usually comprising of dinner and a show. We were pre-teen/young teenagers. So I would bring my sister in on the subway from Etobicoke, meet up at Bell, and then proceed to a restaurant and then to some sort of show/play/event. The most memorable being the Chinese Acrobatic Circus. Great times. Another running tradition was hearing my Mother and her playfully arguing over their ages. My Mother was 3 months older and Peggie never let her forget it. LOL. She will be missed. Mike (Annie) and Julie.

I was lucky to be good enough to do Peg’s hair for many years. I always enjoyed our chats about shopping trips to Port Huron, and wanting to know what the new gossip around town was! Peg was a great lady who loved to laugh but she was never afraid to speak her mind and tell you what she was thinking! Rest In Peace my friend and I hope you find someone to do your hair just right for you!

We were so sorry to hear about Peg’s passing. Peg was my only cousin on my Dad’s side (her mother Margaret was my Dad’s sister). We lived next door to each other on Vanderhoof Ave in Leaside for many years. We even used to talk to each other through our bedroom walls. Peg & Aunt Marg were always important to our family & we were always in contact with each other. Now that Peg has left us, there is no other immediate “old” family on the Taylor side but me. My wife & children loved Peg & thought she was a “hoot”. You never knew what she was going to say or do. She surprised us in many more ways than we can count. She will be truly ,missed but the stories of her “surprises etc.” will live on in the Taylor family.

Peggy was a beloved neighbour to my family and many others on Arthur Street and St. Patrick Street.
Peg moved here around 2001/2 to retire here from a career with Bell Telephone. She purchased her home and single handedly restored and renovated it. She was a passionate gardener, seamstress, and shopper. She loved her trips to Port Huron where she would find many treasures, including wine, cheese and our “only in the States” weed killer!
She was an “adopted” grandma to Reagan, Dwyer, Damian and Griffin. She never missed a birthday or Christmas! She watched over them like her own. We shared many a visits on her beloved porch, in each others homes and with our “hood”family. She was not afraid to “tell it like it was” and we learned to appreciate that of her.
Peggy was meticulous is her appearance of herself and her home. She matched from head to toe! We always laughed when we put the dishes away in the wrong place, as she was quick to correct us. The race to cut your grass in the neighbourhood was always entertaining, as she never wanted to be last. Our children quickly learned to not walk on her grass and to use the sidewalk :)
When the tornado hit, Peg spear headed a yearly get together in her backyard for the “hood” to gather and visit. Her neighbourhood was her family. She had many dear friends that she would visit and check in on, and sometimes enjoy some happy hour.
Peg will be dearly missed by many in the “hood”.

I’m so sorry to hear of Peg’s passing. I met her on the night of the tornado. We had went to help friends next door and met Peg. We have chatted many times since. I’ll miss that. Take care.

Many talks with Peg on my walks. She always enjoyed seeing our little dog it made her laugh the energy she had. Condolences to the family. She will be missed.
