Obituary of Lyle Cartwright
Lyle Cartwright 1930 – 2025
It is with great sadness that the family of Lyle Gordon Cartwright announces that he has passed into the arms of his Lord and Saviour on March 23, 2025. Lyle was a devoted husband to Evelynn and father to Lynn, Paul (Fay), and Janette (Doug) Clark. He was adored by his grandchildren Christina, Scott, Joshua, Shannon and James. He is predeceased by sister Dorothy and brother Stan and survived by sisters June and Maxine along with brother John.
Lyle was born in Chatham ON to Harry and Thelma (Strain) and lived most of his life in Wheatley before moving to Milton in 2016 and then to Georgetown in 2024. He ran the Gordon’s Super Save in Wheatley from 1959 to 1983 when he and Evelynn purchased the store and ran it as Cartwright Valu-Mart until 1994.
Lyle was a deacon for many years at Wheatley Baptist Church, led congregational singing, Boys Brigade and performed many other roles at the church where he served the Lord.
An amateur pilot in his younger days, he loved to travel and he and Evelynn took many trips overseas to Northern Ireland, England, Europe and the Caribbean among other destinations. He was also an accomplished baseball player in his youth, attracting the attention of MLB scouts and loved to “throw the ball around”, “kick or shoot the ball or puck” or otherwise engage in sports with his beloved grandchildren.
A ceremony celebrating Lyle’s life will be held on Wednesday March 26 at McKinlay Funeral Home in Blenheim ON. Visitation is at 12 noon with a service at 1:00 pm. Donations in his memory to the Cancer Society of Canada or Samaritan’s Purse are appreciated.
