Margaret "Peggy" McGeorge Bustard

Margaret “Peggy” McGeorge Bustard, 95, of the Drew Nursing Home, Sackville and formerly of Moncton, where she resided with her daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and Gerald Carson,passed away peacefully at her residence on Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Born in Ripples, she was the daughter of the late Harry and Clara (Sparks) Smith. Peggy was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and was a life time member of the Wesleyan Church. She was always a good source of fun and loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren with unconditional love. Peggy spent many hours baking (especially doughnuts) and had a great love of poetry and in her later years loved to recite these poems from memory. She spent a long faithful life of service to her Church and to her Lord and was very involved in church work with her late husband, Albert McGeorge, as they were one of the founding members of the Reformed Baptist Church in Halifax, NS. Albert and Peggy were heavily involved in the church visitation and their home was always open to church folk as well as Bethany Bible College students (in Yarmouth). Peggy looked forward to spending her summers at Beulah and attending the church camp.
