Carol was a proud teacher for 35 years and finished her career at Newcastle Public School teaching her favourite grade, kindergarten.
Carol loved to travel! She cherished family trips to various locations around the world. After retirement, Carol and Brian quite enjoyed cruises and staying at Sandals resorts.
Her hobbies included singing, gardening, sewing, painting and decorating, reading and spending time with her children and later, her grandchildren.
After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Carol was fortunate to get connected with Alzheimer’s Society Durham Region and their support programs and staff. During our first support group, Carol proclaimed that, “I would do as much as I could for as long as I could.” She was determined, resilient and inspired many during her fight.
The family would like to thank the staff of Alzheimer’s Society Durham Region and the staff of Oshawa Senior Citizen Centres for their support. A heartfelt thanks and gratitude is extended to Wynfield LTC staff and in particular all staff that worked in the Purple Woods Unit.
A private family service will be held at Armstrong Funeral Home on Friday May 8th, followed by interment at Union Cemetery, Oshawa.
For information on paying your respects to the family please call 905-433-4711.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the future when all those who knew and loved Carol can be gathered together in person.
At the request of the family, No flowers please, memorial donations in memory of Carol to the Alzheimer’s Society Durham Region or Autism Society Ontario would be appreciated by the family.
