Carole and Robert (“Den”) made their home in many cities, living in Edmonton, Calgary, Thompson, Wetaskiwin, Vancouver, Medicine Hat, Fort McMurray, Osoyoos, Ashcroft and Kamloops. Although Carole was quite shy, her warm personality surrounded everyone she met. She truly loved her family.

Predeceased by her parents, Emil and Evelyne and her brother Jay, Carol leaves to cherish her memory her loving husband Den, her sister Penny, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Carole was an amazing cook and always enjoyed entertaining family and friends. She also enjoyed sewing and ceramics. She created many statues and cookie jars etc. for her special friends and family. Carole’s favourite travels were to Hawaii and Las Vegas.
