Carmen Denyse (Sheldon) Harris

March 14, 1975 - June 4, 2024

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Carmen Denyse Harris. Carmen will always be remembered for her enormous heart and caring spirit, touching the lives of everyone she met. She spent her life selflessly giving to others, bringing light and comfort to those in need. Carmen had a special gift for connecting with the elderly and those who needed it most, offering her unwavering support and compassion. She devoted herself completely to her family, her children, and her grandchildren, filling their lives with endless love and dedication. Carmen would never be found sitting still so there was no time for rest or sleep. She would be found learning new things, taking on new projects in and around her home or taking care of family and friends. Carmen’s legacy is one of love, generosity, and as a lifelong learner. Her spirit and the profound impact she had on so many lives will live on forever.

She will be deeply missed by her husband Kevin Carmichael and her children Randall (Megan), Ashley (George) and their daughter Anastasia, and Jacey (TJay) and sons Austin and Jason. She will be forever

remembered by her parents Gary and Colleen Herrington, her brothers Randy (Misty) and their son Ryland, Kelly (Angela) and their daughters Amelia and Izzy, her sister Neysa (Angus) and her daughter Payton; Kevin’s children Hailey (Zen), Elijah, Gabriel, Trai, Joanna (Braedon) and their son Rowan, and Kevin’s parents Jane and John will profoundly grieve her passing, as well as their family pets Dustie and Dairy.

Carmen will be reunited with her brother Trevor and her Grandmother Doris. Carmen also leaves to mourn (from Saskatchewan) her Dad Garry (Brenda) Sheldon, brother Trent Kosmynka, sister Suszen Kosmynka, numerous extended family, as well as, many friends and co-workers from our community.
