William Wallace Carter

It is with both deep sadness and profound gratitude for his life that we announce the passing of Bill (William Wallace) Carter on November 7, 2023, after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded with love and support as he passed.

Bill enriched countless lives through his kindness, generosity and humour. He volunteered his time and energy for the betterment of others as a Special Olympics coach for over 25 years, and on numerous professional boards and organizations. He and his wife Jeanne fulfilled their lifelong dreams of traveling the world with close friends. They cultivated beauty through their passion for flowers and gardening, sharing their prized Dahlias with those all around them. Their award-winning yard was the envy of the community.

A celebration of Bill’s life will be held on December 15 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Hainstock’s Funeral Home and Crematorium, 9810 34 Ave. An online live stream is available at: https://view.oneroomstreaming.com/index.php?data=MTcwMDIwMTczNDI4MTUyOCZvbmVyb29tLWFkbWluJmNvcHlfbGluaw==

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff of St. Thomas Care Centre, the Gamma Knife and Cross Cancer care teams, the U of A Hospital, and to all of the Bayshore caregivers who helped Bill and his family through such challenging times. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Canadian Cancer Society
