Heather Stremler (nee Ainslie), born on September 11, 1946, in Shawinigan, Quebec, passed away peacefully following a sudden decline in her health on June 4, 2025, in Peterborough, Ontario, with her loving family by her side.

Heather was the cherished wife of Herman Stremler, with whom she shared a life filled with love, travels, and an unwavering partnership with a healthy dose of loyal opposition. She was a devoted mother to Robyn Stremler (Jason Goncalves) and Dawn Stremler (Paul Carr), and a proud, beloved Nanny to her four grandchildren: Anika, Theo, Felix, and Camille, who brought her endless joy. Heather is fondly missed by her sister Gwyneth Ainslie (Hany Georges) and nephew Andrew (Lindsay).

A dedicated member of the Peterborough community since 1974, Heather worked for many years in Medical Records at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.  Upon retiring she served there as a volunteer. Her love of reading lead her to become a founding member of the Friends of the Peterborough Public Library, where she helped promote literacy and community connection.
