Life and career

Ellen Adrienne Peake was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1936.[1][2] She moved to New Zealand aged 19 and first worked in Wellington and Auckland.[3] In 1958, at age 22, she started working for PDL as personal secretary to Bob Stewart, who had purchased the firm the previous year.[2]

Stewart divorced his first wife and in 1970, Ellen Adrienne Cansdale (who had by then been married before) married Bob Stewart and took on his surname.[1] The Stewarts developed PDL into one of New Zealand's best known companies, and they became major exporters. Adrienne Stewart became deeply involved in the arts sector, where she is a "patron, supporter, board member and philanthropist".[2]

In the 1979 New Year Honours, her husband was appointed Knight Bachelor, and she was thus styled Adrienne, Lady Stewart.[4] In 1993, she was awarded the New Zealand Suffrage Centennial Medal.[5] In the 1995 Birthday Honours, Stewart was awarded a Queen's Service Medal for Community Service (QSM).[6] In the 2006 New Year Honours, she was appointed an Officer of The New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) or services to the community.[7] In 2011, she was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters (Litt.D.) by the University of Canterbury.[3] In the 2015 New Year Honours, she was appointed Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (DNZM) for services to the arts and business.[8]

The Stewarts had two children; Mark James Stewart and Todd Huntly Stewart.[1] Her husband died in 2007.[1]
