Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom Margaret (Peg) Forbes (nee Bennett), who peacefully passed away on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the age of 97. She was predeceased by her husband Cyril Forbes.
Leaving to celebrate her life are her children, Robert (Georgia), Glen (Agatha), Susan (Bill) and Don (Pam); her grandchildren, Craig, Gillian, Lisa, Ashley, Jason, David and Emma; her Great-grandchildren, Joshua, Hayley, Lily, Vivian, Jude, Alice, Audrey and Sullivan; one great-great-grandchild Saydi; and a large circle of family and friends.
We give thanks the wonderful staff at Chancellor Park for all her care and the kindness they showed her.
Peg was an active member of St. Andrew’s Church. She enjoyed playing bridge with her club and meeting friends for tea and a chat. Peg had a wonderful sense of humour, which she loved to share while spending time with family and friends.
Peg had a great love of animals so a donation in her name may be made to the SPCA but flowers are also graciously accepted.
Visitation will be held at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Thursday February 20th from 3PM – 7PM.
A funeral service will take place on Friday, February 21st at 10AM at the Carnell Memorial Chapel.

97! Wow! She was a beautiful human in every way. I bought my first sewing machine from her. An old singer in a table that weighed a ton lol I can see the two of us lifting it out to the truck laughing the entire time. I ended up having a home sewing business and she ended up getting me to make curtains for her new condo when she moved. ❤️ She was certainly one of the people I missed when we left the Kirk. My sincere condolences to you all. 🙏🏼

Don, Pam and Family. So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Mrs. Forbes was a lovely Lady with a wonderful sense of humour and a bright smile. She was a very dear Friend of my Mom’s, ( Elizabeth Butler ) and oh how they loved their Tuesday morning coffee at the Village Mall amongst other activities ! I recall her kind heart when I used to play at your house after school ( and that wasn’t yesterday ! ) My condolences to you all!
Dear Sue, you were such a dedicated and loving daughter to your mom. I know you spent countless hours with her at the home. I’m sure that brought such comfort to her. I’m sorry I can’t be there in person for the visitation. My sincere condolences to you, Bill and all the Forbes family. Treasure all the special memories of your mom.. Sending love and hugs from both of us. RIP, Mrs Forbes.
