She is survived by her daughter, Jean (Scott) Duncan and grandson, Jonathan Duncan; her brother, Tommy (Duane) McIlwraith, and nieces and nephews and their families. She is predeceased by her husband, Murray Matheson, and her son, Hugh Matheson.
Peggy was a good friend to all who knew her. She was a lifelong supporter and member of the Canadian Federation of University Women at the local, provincial, and national levels, and was especially proud of her work as their national president. She was an avid reader, volunteered with many organizations, enjoyed gardening and travelling, and always looked forward to visits with friends and family.
Thank-you to Vancouver Island Home Support and VIHA; your care and support allowed Peggy to remain comfortably in her own home.
At Peggy’s request there will be no service; a celebration of her life will be held in Victoria at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the CFUW or to a charity of your choice.
