PEGLEY, Myrtle Roberta – 87, of Dartmouth, passed away on Monday, September 26, 2022, at Hospice Halifax. Born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, she was the daughter of the late Sidney and Annie Smith. A proud Cape Bretoner, she began her Coast Guard career in the 1950s at Point Edward. It was there that she met her future husband Fred Pegley, and they later settled in Dartmouth. One of her responsibilities with the Coast Guard in Dartmouth was ensuring that the many lighthouses across the province were properly provisioned; she took many a helicopter flight to visit remote locals where she ate with lightkeepers’ families and heard stories of their lives on the coast. She adored this part of her work. She will be missed dearly by her children Fred (Patricia Pegley), Kip (Laura Bradley), as well as her many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, friends and neighbours. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Parkland at the Lakes, and Nick Fraughton and the QEII palliative care team. We are also extremely grateful to Hospice Halifax for their compassionate care. Visitation will take place at A. L. Mattatall Funeral Home, 217 Portland Street, Dartmouth on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice Halifax at https://hospicehalifax.ca/ Online condolences may be sent to www.mattatallfuneralhome.com.
