Obituary of Helena Marion Bishop

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our mother and grandmother, Helena “Peggy” Bishop who passed away on March 6 at the age of 91.

Peggy was born in Ahmic Harbour and married the love of her life, Peter Bishop (deceased) with whom she had four boys: George (Eva), Richard (Linda), and predeceased by her sons Randy and Tim (Gayl). Though she experienced the heartbreaking loss of two of her sons, her love and dedication to her family never wavered. Peggy was also blessed with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

Peggy was a devoted homemaker, and her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She adored her sons and enjoyed baking for the whole family. Her Sunday night suppers were always a highlight, bringing everyone together for a night of love and laughter.

Visitation for Peggy will be held in the Martyn Funeral Home on Thursday, March 9th from 10:00 am until time for a Funeral Service at 12noon. There will be a Spring Interment at the Burk’s Falls Cemetery. If desired, donations to the Salvation Army or the North Bay Regional Health Centre Foundation will be gratefully acknowledged as expressions of sympathy.

Rest in peace, Mom. You will be deeply missed, but your memory will live on forever in our hearts and of those who knew and loved you.
