Obituary of Shirley Ann Peckham ~ Sydney / New Waterford

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Shirley Peckham at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, on April 19, 2018. Born in New Waterford, she was the daughter of the late Mary and Bobby Hart.

 

Shirley was a stay at home mom who cared for her three beautiful daughters. She lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed cooking, camping and taking long walks with her daughters. She loved her TV shows and will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

She will also be sadly missed by her grandchildren Alyssa, Madden and Noah; her best friend William Power; sister Elizabeth, brothers Thomas, Douglas, Joey and her loving dogs Lola and Buddy.

 

Besides her parents, she was also predeceased by sisters Theresa, Marie and brothers Kevin and Wally.
