In loving memory of Marie Percis Fernandez (nee Bartholomeusz), affectionately known as Peggy, who passed away at the age of 95 on June 8th, 2024. She was a devoted mother to Edith, Lionel, Barbara, Derrick, Carlton and Kenny and a loving mother-in-law to Hyacinth, Rex, Oreska, Lorraine and Linda. An extremely proud grandmother to 15 grandchildren and their spouses, and 21 great grand kids, she was always overjoyed to hear about upcoming additions to the family.
Peggy grew up in Pondicherry before moving to Cochin and marrying her lifelong soulmate Malcolm in Fort Cochin. They enjoyed 72 years together travelling from India to Dubai, before eventually calling Canada home.
Her compassion and generosity were boundless; she fed the less fortunate and had a love for animals growing up. An avid gardener, Peggy also left a legacy of renowned culinary skills that delighted family and friends alike. They were all touched by her infectious warmth and her trademark candor resulted in memorable one-liners that they fondly recite often.
Our family would like to convey our immense gratitude to the doctors, nurses, PSWs, private caregivers and friends who helped keep her comfortable in her last days.
Rest in peace, Mum/Grandma/Granny - your spirit lives on in our hearts forever and will always be cherished.
Visitation will be held at the Accettone Funeral Home, 384 Finley Avenue, Ajax on Wednesday, June 12th from 6:00 pm till 9:00 pm
