ERIKA PEGG

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of my closest friend and cherished wife of nearly 64 years, Erika Pegg. She passed away on Monday, March 6, 2023, at Mississauga Hospital. She is survived by her immediate family of husband, Ron; and children, Ron and Elizabeth (Phil). Erika also has a brother, Karl (Margaret); and a sister, Karen; and a deceased sister, Marianne. Erika was born in 1931 in Toronto, to Karl and Margaret Kopp, attended Runnymede Collegiate, Toronto Teacher's College, and became a highly successful and dedicated teacher. Shortly after marriage, we purchased a new house in Applewood Heights, and Erika resigned teaching to raise her family. When the children were in senior school, Erika returned to teaching - Јrst part-time, and later, full-time. She taught Special Reading classes in Peel until we retired in 1987. In 1988, we purchased a house in Riverwood Plantation, a senior retirement community in the Fort Myers area of Florida. In Florida, Erika started playing tennis and became skillful enough to play on one of the Riverwoods Tennis teams in a league. Erika will be remembered for her engaging personality, her love and devotion to family, her loyalty to friends, her hospitality, her well-kept homes, and her love of life. She enjoyed a great variety of activities in her life, including sports, reading, cottaging, bridge, tennis, travelling and "dinner and a movie night." She will be buried at a private service at the Pegg Family Plot in Newmarket Cemetery. Erika was a special person. We have arranged a Celebration of Life for her at the Top of the Mark room at Applewood Landmark Condominium, at Dixie Road and Bloor Street, in Mississauga. Friends and acquaintances are invited to join the family there May 17th, between 1 and 3 p.m. In lieu of Љowers, a donation to the Canadian Alzheimer Society in Erika's name would be greatly appreciated.
