Obituary of Heather Jean Cartlidge

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Heather Cartlidge, our mother, Nana, great grand Nana, great-great grand Nana and friend to all whose lives she touched, on March 28, 2022. She left us while sleeping peacefully. She was in her 93rd year.

Born in Hull in 1928. She left England in October 1960 and arrived in Montreal, Canada, with her two daughters and journeyed to be with family in Windsor, Ontario.  Leaving behind her daughters Linda Henderson of Blenheim and Beverley Leemann of Switzerland.  Very proud Nana of Daphne Lewis (Brent), Jason Faubert (Kari-Anne), Craig Faubert, Eskil, Kyell, Gunnar, and Ariane Leemann.   Great grand-nana to Jalyn (Darren), Jordan, Naomi, Paige, Aiden, Miro, Aaron and Emma and great-great grand-nana to Alexander Boylan.  Predeceased by her mother Amelia  Price  (nee Morrow) and her father Arthur Hornby.  Survived by her sister Patricia and Bill Roddy, of Cornwall and predeceased by brother Brien Hornby (2005), Aunt to Raegan, Devon (Dixie), Gabrielle (Jordy) and Justin. Great Aunt to Chloe Mighton, Lorea, Annika, Henrik, Theo and Lily.

Heather was the first real estate woman in Ontario, working her way up the ladder in a man’s world to be one of the best real estate agents in Windsor.  She was always known to have a beautiful, well-manicured garden which she enjoyed every day in the spring and summer.  She was a devoted member of the Salvation Army Church where she built very special friendships that lasted a lifetime.
A very special thank you to her granddaughter Daphne who was her caregiver for many years until her last moments. She will forever cherish her tea times and daily conversations about life, and family.  

Most of all she loved her family and friends. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
At her request cremation has taken place.
 
Visitation will be held at Windsor Chapel Funeral Home (South Chapel) 3048 Dougall Ave 519-253-7234, on Saturday April 2, 2022 at 12:00.  A celebration of Heather’s life will be at 1 p.m.  Donations to the Salvation Army are welcome. Online condolences may be expressed through www.windsorchapel.com
