In Conversation with Gerardine Christou: The story of Peg Rankin
Humffray Room
Peg Rankin: A Journey of Faith and Resilience
Peter Rankin SDB
As told by Gerardine Christou
This is the story of Peg, an ordinary woman who was
“made of extraordinary stuff ”
Margaret (Peg) Rankin is remembered by all who knew and loved her as a woman of kindness with a ready smile. Her long life brought her much joy, love and happiness. She was the devoted mother of twelve children and many grandchildren, a farmer, a chef and a confidante for many. There were also challenges and tragedy. With her strong will she persisted and got on with the next thing.
Always positive, Peg was quick to move on from trials and setbacks. She was a true Christian. She embodied love, mercy, joy, a ready sense of humour and above all, resilience and faith.
This is her remarkable story told by a loving son.
