It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Frederick Eldon Peterson who passed peacefully surrounded by family on July 4, 2025.

Fred was born in July 1936 to Harrison and Evelyn (Jewett) Peterson in Marysville, New Brunswick. Fred worked for 35 years in the Department of National Defense in Gagetown, NB and Shearwater, NS.

In 1960, Fred met and married his true love Joyce Smith (deceased 2014) in Fredericton, NB. Together they raised two daughters in Fredericton, NB and later Dartmouth, NS. A loving and adored husband, father, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather, Fred will be remembered for his quick smile and the warmth and kindness he showed to everyone around him.
