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.
