MARGARET
COLTART
(nee
Hohenstein)
Peacefully, after a courageous battle with
cancer, Margaret “Peggy” Sharron Coltart, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, passed away on
Saturday, November 24, 2012 in her sleep at the age of 72 years.
Left
to cherish Peggy’s memory are her husband Douglas; two children, Sharron
Coltart Houston and Don Coltart; their spouses Reece and Jennifer,
respectively; as well as her loving granddaughter Hannah Margaret Louise
Houston. Peggy and Hannah were best
friends – attached at the hip – and had a special and unbreakable bond. Hannah
will miss her Grandma (or Gma, as she affectionately called her) greatly and
will cherish the memories they made together. She was predeceased by her
parents Otto and Janet, and her younger brother Richard.
On October 13, 1940 Peggy was born in St.
Boniface, Manitoba and raised in Middlechurch, MB. She attended school in Middlechurch, and
later went on to receive training as stenographer. Peggy married her love,
Douglas Coltart, on August 14, 1965.
They were married for 47 years and together raised two children, Sharron
and Don.
Peggy worked as a stenographer in her early
career with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and later at Park West Dry
Cleaners, and Peppertree Fashions. Spending time with her family and friends
was the most important thing to her. Any reason was a good reason to celebrate
and arrange a get together. Those times together always made her happy. Peggy also enjoyed sewing, knitting, cooking,
camping, reading, and gardening. The
friends she made at St. Mary’s Anglican Church, and time she spent there, were
also special to her.
Our family is grateful to those family and
friends who loved, cared, and supported Peggy with phone calls, visits, cards,
and words of encouragement. Special thanks
to the physicians that have helped her through the years, and the caregivers on
GH4 at Health Sciences Centre that assisted and comforted her in her final
days.
On Friday, November 30, 2012, Peggy’s Funeral
Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. in St. Mary’s Anglican Church, 3830 Roblin Blvd., Winnipeg, MB with Rev. Lenise Francis, presider. Interment will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that
memorial donations be made to Cancer Care Manitoba or the Canadian Diabetes Foundation.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel in care of
arrangements.
