Obituary
Carol Ann (Williams) Stewart
1940-2023
On August 21st at her home in Gibsons, Carol took her final breath. Her daughter and granddaughter were at her bedside and her four siblings had come that morning to say their goodbyes. After almost four years of cancer treatments that preserved her outstanding mental faculties to the end, her curiosity about what lies “on the other side” has been fulfilled.
Carol was born April 20, 1940 in Vancouver. Her parents were Reynold Williams and Patricia Conway. She leaves behind her loving family: daughter Sarah Houniet; grandchildren David Kofol (Nicole) and Cassandra Houniet; great-grandchildren Anna and James Kofol; siblings John (Rosemary), Cady Patricia, Jim (Jane) and Helen; nieces and nephews Alex, David, Paul, Emily and Camille; Conway cousins and innumerable friends.
Carol had a wide and varied academic and professional career. After high-school graduation from the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Vancouver, she obtained a Bachelor of Education degree from U.B.C. At San Francisco State University, she studied special education. She established her career working with children and adults with severe mental challenges in Vancouver, Seattle and London, England. She was also involved in the movement to create community schools in B.C.
In 1990 she moved to the Sunshine Coast working as an employment counsellor as well as volunteering on boards of numerous local community organizations. She also offered her expertise to international organizations and was responsible for twinning Sunshine Coast towns with counterparts in El Salvador and Vietnam. In 1996, she enrolled in the M.A. program in Systems Design at Antioch College in Seattle, graduating in 2000.
During her retirement years, she travelled solo to many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, always researching their history and culture before embarking.
She will be sorely missed by all those inspired by her adventurous spirit, her progressive social conscience, her fierce determination to live life her way and her wonderfully generous nature.
Carol’s family wishes to express their gratitude to all who provided care to her during her illness, especially her close friend Karen Tosczak.
At Carol’s request, donations to Doctors Without Borders or Sunshine Coast Hospice Society will be gratefully received. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
