We Remember

McKENZIE, Margaret

—

Margaret (Peggy) McKenzie (nee Wise)
After winning a hard fought battle with cancer, Peggy succumbed to other illnesses on June 16, 2015 on her 59th wedding anniversary, and is finally at peace. She is survived by her husband, Stanley, three sons, Doug, Glen (Karen) and Gord (Sue) and one grandson, Collin (Sylvie) as well as brothers-in-law Harry and George and extended family. She will be lovingly remembered by her family and her many close friends.
Peggy was born and raised in Winnipeg. She was an active choir member of the Atlantic Avenue United Church. She had begun a ten year career at the Bank of Nova Scotia when she met and married Stan. Family and children became the priority and, once the boys were in school, she volunteered in school libraries for nine years. Later, she spent ten years working part-time for the Canada Revenue Agency. Most recently, she assisted Stan with volunteer duties for the Retired Federal Superannuates.
Spending time with friends and family was always important to Peggy as was bowling, a sport she enjoyed for 30 years. Peggy loved to create personalized cards on her computer for family and friends and always made a point of keeping in touch through several family moves across the country. Camping trips with Stan and the boys provided some of her fondest memories.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior, the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, or a charity of your choosing.
In accordance with her wishes, cremation has already taken place and there will be a private service for immediate family.
Stan and the family would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of both the Kelowna General Hospital and the Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior for the professional and compassionate care she received while in their care. Stan would like to specifically thank Dr. Wadhwa for her very professional and caring advice.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
