BENNETT, Peggy (nee Law) Passed away on Oct. 21, 2006, after a short illness in her 89th year. Peggy was predeceased by her husbands, Major Dennis Simon-Symons (1969) and O. B. (Tony) Bennett. She is survived by her children, Venetia and her husband, Edward Moorhouse and James Ivor and his wife Trish Symons, and her Grandchildren Sonya, Simon, Timothy and Ian. During her last 8 years she became the Great-Grandmother of Oliver, Julia and Charlotte Conn and Abigail Moorhouse. Peggy was born in Toronto, but lived her early years in Europe. She returned to Ottawa in 1948 and later worked at the National Gallery of Canada. Peggy was a amazing person; she always remained a beautiful and stylish woman with panache yet with no pretensions. In her last 40 years she held court in her little houses in London England, aboard the Yacht Pellee and later in centre-town Ottawa. Over her long life, she loved her animals, Sam, Tux, Tibor, Pico and her pussy cats. Like everybody else, Peggy's life had its ups and downs and she dealt with each obstacle with her philosophy of "Oh Poof" and went on her way with dignity and decorum. Within her sphere, life was never dull!! We remember the good times and we will miss her. A memorial service in celebration of Peggy's life will be held at St. Bartholomew's Church, 125 MacKay Street, Ottawa, Ont. Tuesday, November 28, 2006 at 11:00 A.M. A reception will follow in the church hall. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Ottawa Heart Institute or the Ottawa Humane Society.
