ROBINSON, Margaret 'Peggy' Angela - (January 12, 1930 - January 12, 2021) -
In life’s journey, we connect and develop relations with family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues. Some connections are fleeting and pass quickly while others linger and grow.
With a family of eight siblings, consisting of 4 brothers and 4 sisters, there were innumerable connections to family, inlaws, nephews, nieces and friends. And there were connections through Peggy’s beloved hobby of ice-skating. Later, as Peggy grew her own family through marriage and children, her love and connections grew as well.
