She was the awesome, beloved aunt of nieces Susan, Tanis, Lori and Peggy Wallace, great-nieces Brandy Bannister and Lindsay Lepage and great-nephews Michael Bannister and Brian LePage. Peggy graduated as a nurse in 1948, was a nursing sister and shared her love and passion for children and teaching through 42 years as a nurse at the Winnipeg Children's Hospital. After retirement in 1991 she spent many hours volunteering at the Deer Lodge Centre, the Health Sciences Library, and her annual favourite, the fall Book Mart in support of the Children's Hospital Foundation. Peggy was a dedicated, compassionate and generous daughter, sister, aunt, nurse and friend. We will miss her tremendously. The family would like to thank the doctors and staff of the Concordia Hospital, N1S, for their compassionate care during the last month.
