Sis. Carol and her grand daughter Raven, spent these past years since Carol’s unfortunate stroke in 2022 recording stories of Carol’s life and creating a bond that will last Raven a lifetime of happy memories spent with her Gramma, her devotion to caring for her over these past years has been a gift to Carol and their strong love for each other was obvious to everyone who knows them. Carol will always be remembered by her beautiful English style gardens that she lovingly tended and cared for at her home in Point Park that are now beautifully kept up by her son Andrew. Carol loved to dance and spent many years clogging and line dancing, she also loved bridge and more recently playing skip-bo, and bingo with her friends at Monarch Hall. We cannot talk about Carol without mentioning her love for TV shows.
Carol’s love of flowers was known to everyone, she especially loved yellow roses and pink carnations and got great joy watching the birds, especially the yellow breasted goldfinch. Many thanks to all of the people who cared for Carol and her visits with therapy dogs Prince Harry and Grace, to Jenn for keeping her long nails beautifully polished every week at the home, to the staff at Monarch Hall and the caring nurses and staff at palliative care at the Moncton Hospital while Carol made her transition "home".
Sis.Carol’s strength and positive attitude, despite the many challenges she faced since having a stroke was admired by everyone who knows her, always a pleasant, giving, and caring person with a positive attitude and smile. There will not be a viewing, a private celebration of life will be held for family and closest friends only.
