Peter Power

Peter Joseph Power, 59, New Glasgow, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, June 30, 2020. Peter was born in Toronto on August 27, 1960, a son of the late Joseph Edmund and Mary Florence (Scholes) Power.
Peter was a lifelong outdoor enthusiast, and handyman extraordinaire; traits inherited from his father.

Peter was predeceased in 2014 by his loving wife, best friend and soul mate Caroline (MacDonald) Power. He will be sadly missed by his daughters, Lauren (Chad Rogers) Power, New Glasgow and Katelyn (Jonny) Daye, Pictou, as well as grandchildren, Bentley Dean and Peyton Daye; also sisters, Terri (Teddy) Schipper, Toronto; Anne Marie Power, Mount Pearl, NL; Cathie (Dean) Simms, St. John’s, NL; nephews Matthew and Morgan, and nieces Chantelle and Emily; father-in-law, George MacDonald, New Glasgow; brother-in-law, Mike MacDonald, New Glasgow.
