Welsh, Carolyn Margaret (Edwards)
Age 78 of Halifax, passed away on Sunday, December 12, 2021 in Whitehills Long Term Care, Hammonds Plains. Born in Halifax, she was the daughter of the late Mary (Clark) Edwards and James Edwards (of Fairview).
Carolyn is survived by her husband Clyde, sons Scott (Julie) and their children Connor, Mackenzie, Ryan and Liam; Chris (Christina) and their children Nicholas, Matthew and Zachary; Troy (Jacqui) and their children Jaxson and River, all of Halifax; sisters Maxine Ewing, Massachusetts; Pauline Gray, Halifax; sister-in-law Freda, Mount Uniake and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brothers Jack, Jimmy, Fred and sister Diane; sister-in-laws Onnie and Shirley and brother-in-laws Walter Ewing, Don Simmons and Bob Gray.
Carolyn loved hockey, dancing, sewing and took great pride in having a warm and welcoming home. She was the youngest in her family and at a young age enjoyed many suburban games in the old Shirley Street arena watching her brother Jack. Carolyn and Clyde travelled and watched many hockey games played by their three sons and nine grandchildren. Through those years they formed many close friendships that left them with lasting fond memories. She was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Carolyn attended Nova Scotia Teacher’s College graduating in 1962 and went on to teach at Burton Ettinger and St. Pat’s Alexandra Elementary. Her interest in Physical Education led her to complete coursework to become a Physical Education teacher at Halifax West High School where she taught until 1973. She later worked part-time at Sears and as a tour guide with Ambassatours.
We would love to thank the staff of Whitehills Long Term Care for the care and compassion given to Carolyn through her stay.
