Peggy Beauregard (nee Gosselin)

In Loving Memory of
Peggy Beauregard (nee Gosselin)

September 7, 1961 ~ September 7, 2025

Peggy Beauregard (nee Gosselin) passed away on Sunday September 7, 2025, after bravely battling a rare form of cancer. She leaves behind a legacy marked by positivity, resilience, and deep connections with family and friends.

Peggy was predeceased by her mother, Joyce; her father, Joseph; her brother, Randy; and her sisters, Eunice and Sharon.

Her memory lives on through her son, Curtis (Stacey), as well as her beloved grandchildren, Nova and Memphis. Peggy is also survived by her twin sister, Pearl, and her sisters, Bonnie and Brenda.

In accordance with Peggy’s wishes there will be no service, a surprise celebration of life was held in April, with Peggy in attendance. This gathering provided an opportunity for family and friends to honour and celebrate Peggy’s journey together. As Christmas was Peggy’s favourite time of year, those who knew her are invited to raise a glass in her memory during the holiday season.

Peggy will be remembered for her unwavering optimism, friendliness, and the genuine warmth she extended to all. She cherished her time in the sunshine and evenings spent by the fire. Her steadfast support left a lasting impression on the many lives she touched, and her spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Our Sister’s Memory

You fought so long, so brave, so true
Through endless nights the pain you knew.
Yet still you smiled through every storm
A fragile heart, so fierce, so warm.
I held your hand, but time slipped by.
No cure could answer every “why?”
Now only echoes fill the space.
A shadow where I knew your face.

You’re in the stars, the sky, the sea-
A part of all that lives in me.

Though you’re gone I still hold tight
To memories that shine so bright.

Ursel “Ursula” Schnelle

October 21, 1942 ~ August 27, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we are announcing the sudden passing of Ursula on the evening of August 27, 2025 at the age of 82 years.

Ursula was born on October 21, 1942 in Bünde, Germany. She moved to Canada in 1981 with her first husband and spent several years in St. Albert, before settling in Cardiff. Mom loved living in the peaceful and green setting of Cardiff.

She met John in 1991, and the two of them were active volunteers with the community and the Rural Crime Watch. They took many trips to see car races with the Dowler family; they enjoyed several cruises and they spent winters in Victoria. In all their activities they made many lasting friendships.

Mom greatly enjoyed the German Ladies group and their pot luck dinners with songs and stories. Mom worked hard, and had many talents. She excelled at baking, cooking, knitting, crochet and embroidery. Her real talent was sewing. Mom was a trained seamstress and was a wizard at sewing. She made beautiful suits and clothing all her life. Mom loved to drive, and always told the story of how she learned to drive on her brother’s 47 Beetle that had the brake connected with a rope. We will miss her dearly.

Ursula was predeceased by her parents Alma and Heinrich, and brother Heinz.

She is left to mourn by her loving husband, John Dowler of 34 years; daughter, Andrea (Detlev) Tenter; grandson, Christian (Sarah) Eckert; daughter, Christine (Dwayne) Schmidt; and Olly the Westie; the Dowler family; as well as extended family and friends in Canada and Germany.

We would like to thank our families, friends and neighbours for all the support during this difficult time.

Arthur Edward Adcock

June 3, 1952 ~ August 19, 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Arthur Edward Adcock, who was born on June 3, 1952, and passed away on August 19, 2025, at the age of 73 years.

Arthur’s greatest pride was his family. He is survived by his children, Kassandra Foreman, Stephen Adcock, Damion Adcock (Khynee), and Heaven-Leigh Fenelon (Tyler). He was a proud grandfather to Jules, with another granddaughter expected to arrive in September. He will also be remembered by his former wife and lifelong friend, Tammy Brown. His niece, Kathleen Budzinski for the care she offered him, as well as his many other nieces, nephews, and extended family. He is lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his sisters, Edie Fredrickson, Sylvia Suecroft, Hazel Uphoff (Roland Uphoff), and Martha Adcock.

Arthur was predeceased by his father, Robert Adcock; mother, Esther Adcock; and brothers, John Adcock and George Adcock.

Arthur will be remembered for his one-of-a-kind personality. He carried a “no-nonsense, I don’t give a damn” attitude, yet was always the first to step up and help others. He went out of his way to put everyone else before himself, often giving without hesitation and expecting nothing in return. His strength, generosity, and humor left a lasting mark on all who knew him.

A service to celebrate Arthur’s life will be announced by the family at a later date.

Miles Millford Roberts

August 24, 1952 – August 7, 2025

With deep love and fond remembrance, the Family of Miles Millford Roberts announces his peaceful passing, in the evening of August 7, 2025, at the Sturgeon Community Hospital in St. Albert, Alberta, at the age of 72 years, just weeks prior to his 73rd birthday.

Miles will always be loved and remembered by his devoted wife of 51 years, Sandra Roberts (nee Chynoweth). Loving father of Jody Jones (Mel), Amanda Nimigon (Justin), and Laine Roberts.

His absence will have a deep impact on his grandchildren, Zachary Jones, Nicole (Kirk) Gabuna, Amber Nimigon, Erica Nimigon (Josh Graham), Morgan Nimigon, and his great-grandchildren, Millie and Zoey. Missed by his faithful companions, Blake and Bella. His memory will be cherished by his sisters-in law, Barbra Chynoweth and Della Chynoweth. He will also be lovingly remembered by his many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Predeceased by his father, Ronald (Ron) Roberts and his mother, Jackie Roberts (nee Henderson).

A lifelong resident of Haliburton, Ontario, he was a familiar face to many within the community. For decades, Miles worked at the local IGA in Haliburton, a place that became more than his job; it became his second home and a vital part of his identity. Many in town will recall his ready smile, gentle humor, and the stories that he would share that spanned generations of local history.
