On Monday, July 13th, 2020, Gillian FitzGibbon, wife, mother, daughter and sister, passed away peacefully in her sleep after a difficult battle with cancer. She is preceded by her beloved parents Gerald Michael FitzGibbon and Maud FitzGibbon (nee Rouse). Gillian will be forever remembered by her husband and best friend John Peacock, her treasured son Nicholas Pacella, and her loving sister Hilary FitzGibbon (late Claude Charron) who took care of her in her final days. Gillian will be sorely missed by her extended family, business partners, fellow artists, and dear friends. May she soar high on her sleek crow wings, while we bask in the light and the love she brings.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at Beechwood Cemetery, rain or shine. Guests are asked to gather at 11:45 a.m. under the gazebo near the main entrance.
In lieu of flowers, we encourage you to donate to one of the three charities that were dear to Gillian and her family; Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Canadian Cancer Society, or the Ottawa School of Art.

I just now received news of Gillians demise. Words will never express my sadness, I grew up with Gillian, always a sweet kind way about her. Years passed, but, she somehow found her way back to our family. Gillian loved her family with all her heart, may God find a way for all without her. Christian Love.... Sandra
