Obituary of Josephine Mary Parsons

PARSONS, Josephine Mary (Peg) (nee Colopardi) - It is with great sadness that the family of Peg Parsons announces her passing on Monday, March 7, 2011 at the age of 90. Peg died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Beloved wife of the late Harold Dennis (Den) (1995). Dearly loved mother of Nancy Duhamel and her husband Bob, and Dennis Parsons. Dear sister of Anne White. Predeceased by her parents Antonio Colopardi (1975) and Filomena Paolozzi (1971), sister Jennie (2003), brother John (1975) and sisters Mary and Julie in their childhood. Peg will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, family, friends and neighbours. Peg was employed by NuFashion Hosiery and Lightning Fastener in St. Catharines before meeting the love of her life, Den. After their marriage in 1955, Peg devoted her life to raising her two children. Family and friends were very important to her and she loved to spend time with them. Peg was a strong and determined woman with a warm smile that took you in and made you feel glad that you were in her company. When her beloved Den passed in 1995, she bravely lived out her remaining years in her own home independently until she passed. She will be greatly missed and forever loved by all that knew her. As per Peg†™s wishes, cremation has taken place. Peg's family will receive visitors at the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL HOME, 585 Carlton Street on Monday, March 14 from 11:00 to 12:45.

If desired, memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice would be sincerely appreciated by the family. LOVE YOU, MOM!
