<div itemprop="description"><br /><br />Cartledge, Peggy (nee Margaret Ann Fleming) <br /><br />On March 16, 2016 in Richmond, BC. Beloved wife of Dick Cartledge, they were married for 35 years. Born in Winnipeg in 1932, she lived in Chicago, Toronto, and Grenada in the British West Indies. Survived by children-by-marriage, Rick (and his son Matthew), and Colleen Cartledge; predeceased by Tony Cartledge (survived by his daughters Natasha and Jasmin). Survived by niece Dr. Nancy (John) Scott-Thomas, a sister Lynn (Paul) Ellis; treasured cousins in UK, Canada, USA, and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her father, Charles M. Fleming, founder of Fleming-Pedlar Ltd., and Coldstream Products of Canada Ltd., proud Canadian manufacturer and distributor of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as her mother Myra, and sister Joyce Smith, and lovely Hella (Cartledge), German Shepherd.<br /><br />Her father took her sailing on the Red River when she was six months old; she had a great love for the water. She lived by it for most of her life, especially enjoying with Dick their decades in Steveston overlooking the magic of the Straight of Georgia, Sturgeon Banks, and the Fraser River from their home. Peggy loved Dick and her treasured friends, warm-heartedly embracing the cultural tapestry and natural beauty of the communities she lived in; their little Japanese garden was a quiet place for many. She studied Japanese Paper Doll making at the Steveston home on Sensei Ayako Hori on Monday nights for over two decades. Part of her commitment to the communities in which she lived was reflected in her life-long dedication to voluntarism beginning when she was a teenager during a Winnipeg flood. Her style was casual and practical; she believed things should be useful as well as beautiful. And she loved fun; no doubt she&rsquo;ll have drinks and dinner waiting at 6:30 when we join her. Cremation. A private gathering of farewell is planned for a later date. Special thanks to her treasured friends who lifted her spirits through their generous rainbow of support. To anyone so desiring, donation remembrances in Peggy&rsquo;s name to the Richmond Hospital Foundation would be deeply appreciated, 7000 Westminster Highway, Richmond, British Columbia, V6X 1A2.<br /><br />&ldquo;Peace on my wings&rdquo;<br /></div>
