Peggy passed away Aug 6, 2018 at the age of 74.

Predeceased by her loving husband Kenneth Dale Smith; Mom Etta Marion Beggs and Dad Tomas Rea Beggs.

Peggy was born in Grande Prairie, Alberta and moved to Vancouver Island with her family at age six.  She lived in Saltair and Chemainus, raising her family in the latter.  She worked as an office administrative assistant at the Chemainus Secondary School and then in a mining firm in downtown Vancouver.  She retired with her husband to Magna Bay, BC. and spent some very happy years there.   Peggy enjoyed gardening, watching hockey and really enjoyed reality talent shows.  She had a love for music and played piano by ear.  She loved her family and was a caregiver at heart.  Peggy was married to her husband for 50 years, losing him just 2 days after their 50th anniversary.  Thanks to family and friends for their help and support to make her last months memorable and comfortable, especially her brother Norm, and friends Shirley, Robin and Ralph for looking after her home.  A memorial will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Agency, 399 Royal Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 5L3.

    I had the great pleasure of seeing Peggy every 5 weeks for the last 15 years to do her hair. She was a wonderful remarkable woman. How she looked after Ken was amazing. We had lovely times. Talking about all the singing shows and America’s got talent. Hearing about all the kids and grand kids that she was so proud of. I will miss her . I am very sorry for your loss. I’m sure there is another angel in heaven.

    We’ll always remember Peggy as a kind, generous and extremely hard working woman. We had the pleasure of walking by their place at Lucerne Beach for many years and always admired the gardens! Our sincere sympathies from all the families that make up the Wilrodrey crew at Lucerne.

    We live in Ken and Peggys old neighborhood in Magna Bay and John was their computer tech. We were very fond of Peggy as we always found her to be a very sweet and kind person. She will be missed. Our condolences to the family.

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.
