Obituary For Frederick Eldon Peterson

Peterson, Frederick Eldon

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.

Fred is survived by daughters Kelli Goudey (Robert), Kimberly Peterson Lytle (Scott), grandchildren Robbie Goudey (Mandi), Jordan Lytle and Kaylen Lytle, great grandchildren Declan Goudey and Carter Goudey, sister Judith Pelletier (Fred), sister-in-law Sheila Lawrence (George), many nieces and nephews and special friend Elizabeth Dorey.

The family would like to thank the Berkeley (Dartmouth) residents and staff for their friendship and care over the past year.

At Fred’s request, there will not be a service at this time. A graveside service will be held on September 5, 2025 in Cambridge-Narrows, NB.

    We had many great times with FRED AND JOYCE. He welcomed my mom and I into their home when I started Teachers College and later built us an apartment in their new home on Maple street. He drove me several places of which I was very thankful. He was very easy to tease. Sorry Fred. Thanks for all your generosity. Much sympathy and love to all the family.

    Kelli and Kim, So sorry to hear about your loss. Your Dad was a good friend and a great neighbour. Rick and I spent lots of time chatting with your parents in the backyard in the summer time. Now your parents are reunited again in Heaven. Hope that happy family memories give you comfort, during this difficult time. Hugs Lynda Raine
