up on the family farm outside of Nokomis and was the youngest of 3 children. After graduating
from Nokomis School she moved to Saskatoon and attended Robertson Secretarial School
training as a legal secretary. Her work life began with a downtown law firm, after which she took
a position at Saskatchewan Land Titles. During her tenure there she took a leave of absence
and joined Carnival Cruise Line, based out of Florida, as a casino dealer. Although this was a
brief experience, she made lifelong friends with some of the people she encountered on the
ship. She then returned to her position at Land Titles before moving across to the Provincial
Courthouse as a court clerk. Here she made many friends and brought her humor into the
office. She retired in 2015 after 35 years of service as a provincial employee. Carol enjoyed a
wide variety of activities, including puzzles, watching and playing sports, going for walks, taking
art classes and doing crafty projects, and gardening. Carol was bit hard by the travel bug.
Throughout her working career she traveled to Mexico with her sister Laurie, Hawaii with her
Mom and friend Delores, Florida with both her Mom and Dad, and the Caribbean and Las Vegas
with friends. Upon her retirement, Carol traveled often and to many different places across the
globe, including China, France, Africa, Italy, Central Europe, Dubai and Ireland. A couple of
years ago she befriended a wild rabbit who had been frequenting her yard. She lovingly named
him Jack, started leaving water out for him, and fed him like a king. Family meant the world to
her. She would frequently come back home to Nokomis for family gatherings or host everyone
in her home, and enjoyed playing cards and games, especially 31. Carol was fiercely
independent and determined to continuously create her best life. She had a wonderful sense of
humor and a quick wit. Carol passed away suddenly at home on May 1, 2023. She was
predeceased by her parents Lucy and Albert, and sister Laurie Bart. She is survived by her
brother Brian (Rita) Bart, nieces and nephew Haley (Jeremy) Brauner, Lisa Bart, and Cory Bart;
great nieces and nephews Ella Bart, Benjamin, Lucy, and Daniel Brauner; brother-in-law James
Ness (Joanne); and many friends and extended family.
