I just learned that Margaret Fleck passed away. My condolences to Jim Fleck, Margaret's family and friends.(Take Good Care)!
I met Margaret volunteering at the CFC Garden Party. Her presence will be greatly missed at the Canadian Film Centre events, Toronto Summer Music Festival and Luminato Festival! Grateful for her financial contributions which has helped to make the arts, healthcare and housing more affordable and accessible!

I just found out about Margaret's passing. I was on the phone to Tafelmusik to order tickets to one of their concert series. And for some reason, I began telling her that I knew that Marg and Jim Fleck were great supporters of their orchestra. And I told her how I knew Marg and Jim. I stood up at their wedding and last year they celebrated their 65th year as a married couple. I had not seen them for a long time but we were to get together this Spring when they returned from Florida. And for some reason the person from whom I was ordering tickets told me that Marg had died. I was very shocked. And I have to admit that I do not read the obituaries in the papers. And so, I want to send my heart felt condolences to Jim and their children. Marg was a beautiful person in every way. I feel so lucky to have known her.

It was such a pleasure to have known Margaret when we spent time together in Naples, Florida. We had looked forward to seeing both Jim and Margaret in Naples this coming April. Her intelligence, faith, sense of family, and many accomplishments were an inspiration to those whose lives she touched. She leaves a long legacy.

So very sorry and saddened to hear of Flash's passing. Like the other DJs who have written here, she was for me such an inspiration, as well as a safe adult who had a formational influence in my life and faith. Because of her example and encouragement, throughout my life I have dared things I would never have had the courage to try, I have hoped and believed things I could never have imagined. Anything I have been able to hand along to other youth was because she gave all of us so much and I knew that it mattered a lot that an adult took an interest in me when I was a teen and believed in me. I have never laughed and thought and asked and learned as much as I did through those years. My debt to her and "Doc" can never be repaid and my love for the Fleck family is deep. I really can't imagine a world without Flash in it - i expect I just never believed we'd lose her. May the road rise to meet you as God holds you in the palm of his hand, dear Flash and Fleck family. Will do my utmost to be there Monday.

In the name of the seniors at LOFT Community Services, Dunn Avenue Supportive Housing we are remembering the vibrant, generous human being that Margaret was. She opened her backyard and her heart to our seniors year after year when she hosted her summer parties for us. We will always remember your beautiful spirit! Rest in peace.

It was with great sadness to learn of Margaret's passing. She was a very special woman, always with a warm, gentle smile and a deep concern for others. A Christian committed to putting her faith into action. Since meeting Margaret, over 25 years ago, there are many fond memories that come to mind. At Cana Place (LOFT Community Services) I remember many wonderful conversations, laughter and events. Margaret has a servant's heart and through her faith ministered to the seniors and staff. As the years passed Margaret was supportive in so many causes of LOFT. A vibrant memory was the Fleck Annual Garden Party at your home. It was the social event highlight for LOFT's senior's program for many years. Margaret was always the ultimate host, taking the time to talk with guests, share their stories and make them feel very welcome. It included our joining the dancing around the pool. Knowing Margaret was an honour and a blessing. My sincere condolences to you Jim, and your family.

Marg Fleck has been a much-loved friend of the Sisterhood of St. John the Divine for many years. She became an Associate of our Community in 1993 and as a priest often presided in our chapel. Sometimes in the summer she would invite all the sisters to their home to enjoy the gardens and swim in the pool. This would always be followed by a delicious dinner. She helped us start the Women's Round Table program and chaired the initial meetings. Her wonderful smile was always so welcoming whether she was presiding at the altar or greeting people at the door. You felt as you were the very person she was hoping to see. She will be sorely missed by so many, many people here in the Diocese of Toronto and far beyond. Sister Elizabeth Rolfe-Thomas, ssjd, Reverend Mother, Sisterhood of St. John the Divine

Jim, We first learned of Margaret's passing when it was announced at last evening's Tafelmusik performance. It must be so hard being without her. (Your 65 years of marriage beat us by only 3 years!) Best wishes...

Margaret was proof that ordaining women to the priesthood brings wondrous gifts to the Anglican Church. Her smile and infectious good humour warmed our hearts and enlivened hope. A friend to so many of us, she will be deeply missed. My sincere condolences to Jim and their family in their loss and grief.

Dear Jim,
Blessings to you and your wonderful family. Margaret was a wonder and brought many people to an understanding of what faith and service meant in both practical and spiritual ways. She will be missed, of course, but what a heritage and what memories she has left behind to sustain us all!
Take care of your kind and generous self.

Jim & Family: Mary and I were very sorrow to hear of Margaret's passing. Cam Calder just sent me an e-mail of Margaret's Obituary. She will greatly missed by many. She was an active lady, as were you, over the years since graduation. I remember her fondly as we both were in Purple Patches and we attended games where Marg was an integral part of the cheer leading squad. "Go Mustangs". Too bad you were unable to attend our 65th Reunion last October where would could of at least seen on another one more time. Our own Health and age make it difficult to travel to attend her funeral. May the Grace of the Lord and the fellowship of the Holly Ghost be with her always.

So sorry to hear of "Flash's" passing. I certainly have fond memories of all the times I spent with her as a member of the D. J.'s. Imagine being able to inspire and guide 50+ teenagers! She had the unique ability to stand back and encourage us to be leaders, but at the same time always offering her support. She was certainly a mentor to aspire to.
My condolences to all of the family. I'm sorry that I will be unable to attend her memorial service, as I will be out of the country. Please know that I will be thinking of all of you.

Mrs. Fleck had a profound effect on my life. As one of her many devoted DJ's she was not only our fearless leader but she was a mentor, teacher, and friend, not to mention a busy mother of four. She taught me invaluable lessons by example, which I carry to this day. She was a strong female presence in my life. She exposed me to bigger ideas about life, art and culture. Marg inspired me to grow in love and in faithful service. She opened her heart and home to a bunch of teenagers who were looking for something. Marg found us and we found one another. Our adventures included folk masses, outreach, hanging out with the youth at the Hugh Mc Millan Centre, weekends away and of course the fabulous parties.....Marg always lead us somewhere. That time with her was one of a kind, which has left a positive lifetime impression on me. She was joy and light.
Thank you Jim, RJ, Ellen, David and Christopher for sharing your wife and mother with us.
Thank you Flash.

As a member of the St. Augustine's D.J.'s, I was well acquainted with "Flash". Her smile truly did light up a room and she was a remarkable mentor for a young teen. Her presence on Earth will be missed but I know she's on to greater things!

Dear Jim
Judi and I were so saddened to learn about Margaret. She was a very special person and she will be sorely missed by all of us who knew her and whom she touched.
We have very warm memories of our arrival back in Toronto in the mid 80s and the welcoming hand that you and Margaret extended to us. As the years passed, our admiration for her grew more.
Our deepest condolences to you and the family

I have very fond memories of Margaret as my friend, my priest and my guide in so many ways, at Church of the Annunciation in North York.
Well done, thou good and faithful servant!

Marg Fleck was one of the most kind and funniest ladies Barb and I had the privilege to know. She broke some hard ground as an Anglican priest and we appreciated and loved her spirit at Church of the Annunciation. Thanks Marg for all you instilled in me. Jim, Barb and I send our love to you and your family. Marg was one of the greatest!!

Etched into my memory is the warm night in Los Angeles in January 2010 when Marg regaled us with tales of her time as a cheerleader at the University of Western Ontario. We had six people (including the Flecks' friends from Japan) crammed into our five seater rental car as we prowled around downtown L.A., trying to find our way from the Disney Concert Hall (where Jim had treated us to a wonderful evening of Tafelmusik's music) to our hotel. Marg sat on the centre console (with no seat belt). She told us of how she met Jim, who had some emerging musical acumen : he played the cymbals in the University band. And on and on. I had trouble concentrating on the driving, so funny were her stories. Both Barbara and I are going to miss her smiling face so much. What a gal Marg was.
