  • Drover, Peggy Lorraine

    March 10, 1963 – May 23, 2023

    It is with greatest sorrow that we, the family of Peggy Lorraine Drover, announce her peaceful passing on May 23, 2023, surrounded by her beloved family at the Carbonear General Hospital at an incredible age of 60 years.

    Predeceased by her mother, Carmel Drover; father, Walter Drover; brother, Walter Drover Jr.; sister, Lillian Warren; brother-in-law, Malcolm Warren; and special niece, Abigail Piercey.

    Leaving to celebrate her life are her brother and sister-in-law, Cecil and Gail Drover; nieces, Lisa (Terry) Piercey, Penny Drover, Vanessa (Jeffrey) March, Natasha (Stephen) Langer; nephews, Dennis (Lois) Warren, Jamie (Kim) Warren; and their children who were the light of her life, Daniel, Faith, Hannah, Kyle, Liam, Benjamin, Jordan, Carter, Emily, Gavin, Isabella, Sophia, and Tori. We would be remiss not to include her loving home care workers, Bella Lundrigan, Lori Hutchings, Doreen Hutchings, and Marie Sooley.

    Peggy was a tremendous light; A kind, caring and compassionate woman who always thought of others and held a heart of love and faith that some would say was made of pure gold. To say she will be missed doesn’t seem to measure the immense sadness we bear as we prepare to say our final goodbyes.

    Our gratitude to you, Gail, is beyond expression. You dedicated your life to provide a home for our dear sister and aunt, a home where a heart was truly felt. You fought barriers and overcame obstacles that some would never be able to bear to ensure that you were advocating for Peggy and ensuring her health, care, and safety. You ensured she knew she was loved, and she loved you so. You were her tower in a storm, her angel on earth while she is now yours in Heaven.

    Visitation will be held at Holloway’s Funeral Home, Whitbourne, Thursday, May 25th from 2:00pm – 4:00pm and 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, May 27th at 2:00pm from St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, Whitbourne with inurnment to follow.

    Flowers gratefully accepted, donations in Peggy’s memory may be made to The Peggy Drover Memorial Fund. To sign the online memorial guestbook, please visit www.hollowaysfuneralhome.ca

    My heart is breaking for you all… to say Peggy was one of a kind is putting it mildly. She was an absolutely remarkable woman, her faith was unwavering and her heart was pure. Peggy, my love, it was my honour to have worked with you this past 11/2 years. You have enlightened my world and you will be sorely missed my FRIEND!! Rest Easy and I hope wherever you are you’re running and laughing with that infectious laugh of yours!! You will be missed but never forgotten…. ♥️ Marie And lots of licks from Butch

    Deepest condolences to Cecil, Gail and all the family. Peggy was a special person who lived a full and happy life thanks to the love and support of Gail, Cecil and all her close family. She was deeply loved by many and she gave the love right back in spades. As Tina says, Peggy was her very first friend and they remained close throughout her entire lifetime, she will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thoughts and prayers going out to all the family from Tina, Ron, Matthew and Lucas.
