We Remember

PEGLAU, Ed
September 22, 1930 — January 29, 2025
On January 29, 2025, Ed Peglau went home to be with the Lord, at the age of 94 years.
Ed was known for his skill and craftsmanship, particularly as a handyman who could work wonders with his hands. His love for gardening was second to none—he took great joy in grafting different fruits onto trees and was amazed that his walnut tree produced an abundant harvest year after year. His love for the land and nature was a testament to his patience and care.
Ed’s greatest joy in life, however, was sharing it with his beloved wife, “Cookie,” with whom he spent 65 years building a life full of love and cherished memories. Family gatherings were always a highlight, and Ed was the center of many BBQs and celebrations, bringing everyone together with warmth and hospitality.
He will be remembered for his hands-on approach to life, his dedication to his family, and the legacy of love he leaves behind. Ed is survived by his loving wife Holdine “Cookie”; sister Elsie Bauer; brother Herbert Peglau; brothers-in-law Helmuth and Manfred Martin; numerous nieces and nephews; and many dear friends. He was predeceased by sisters Irma Penno, Adele Peglau, Hertha Rozniak, and Trudy Knox.
You are invited to pay respects on Thursday, February 6, 2025, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.
Ed will be laid to rest at a Graveside Service on Friday, February 7, 2025, at 12:00 pm, at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery, 1991 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC.
