Margaret Eileen MOXON

MARGARET EILEEN MOXON Peggy / (née Howes) 1928 - 2019 Intrepid Peggy Moxon of Perth, Ontario permanently changed her address on Wednesday, January 16, 2019. Born in Toronto to John and Sadie Howes, she was the youngest of six children who grew up on Dufferin Street. In 1950, she married her beloved fellow adventurer, Jack Moxon, raising their three children, Doug (Teri Yamada), Liz (John Bozek), and Blair (Suzanne), in Toronto, Edmonton, and Ottawa, before retiring to "The Farm" on the Upper Scotch Line in Perth. She adored her grandchildren Alex and Eric Moxon, and Sam and Oliver Bozek who loved to visit "Grandma at the Farm" to fish, skate, and garden, and was delighted to recently welcome her first great-grandchild, Fraser Moxon, in December. She had an adventurous life, from picking peaches in Niagara during the war, to becoming a parliamentary librarian managing the research library for MPs in the West Block on Parliament Hill. She loved to read and travel, and could discuss politics, culture, and the Blue Jays with equal passion. Her lifelong joy of exploring new ideas, places, food, and the arts, as well as her many community activities, contributed to the wonderful circles of friendships she had wherever she lived. She was fierce in her quest for knowledge, and fun when surrounded by friends and family. She will be missed. Family and friends will gather at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W., Perth on Saturday January 26, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. A "Sharing of Memories" will be held at 2:30 p.m. Peggy's family are planning a further celebration of her life to be held this spring. In lieu of flowers, donations would be welcomed by the Perth Public Library or the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation.
