Carole Kathleen Stephens (nee Le Gallee), 81, of Toronto, died Monday March 25, 2024 at her home of 50 years just as she wished, with her loving children by her side.
Born May 22, 1942 to Norman & Kathleen Le Gallee, in Montreal. The family moved to Winnipeg when Carole was 11, and her father was transferred by the Woods company. Carole enjoyed outdoor activities as a Girl Guide and playing with her little sister, Cheryl, at the family cottage on Caddy Lake.
Carole attended Kelvin High School and went on to the University of Manitoba earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree before moving to Toronto, where she would lay down roots.
She had a long and distinguished career in HR, most notably at the University of Toronto. But it was always family that would bring Carole the most joy. Son Jamie arrived from a first marriage, and later son David and daughter Sarah would follow from Carole’s marriage to her late-husband Derek Stephens, whom she met in her early days at U of T.
Carole loved fine art, PBS mysteries, Olympic curling, and classical music as well as The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John, and Anne Murray. She enjoyed spending afternoons in her beautifully tended garden, weekends at the cottage in the Kawarthas enjoying a nice glass of white wine, watching the cardinals visit her feeder at home, and cuddling with her beloved cat, Charlie.
Carole is survived by her three loving children, Jamie (Naomi), Sarah, David & Jordana and her four grandchildren whom she adored, Rowan, Harper, Olive, and Alice, sister Cheryl (Joe), nephews Steven and Tim, and nieces Stephanie and Joanne.
The family wishes to sincerely thank the staff at Sunnybrook Hospital, particularly Dr. Bjarnason and Dr. Myrehaug as well as Dr. Howe, Aresh and the many PSWs of the Temmy Latner Centre’s palliative team who took such wonderful care of Carole during her final months.
A visitation will be held at the Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. W. (2 stoplights west of Yonge St.) on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 from 5-8 pm.
Funeral service will take place on Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 1pm with a reception to follow at the same location.
A private interment will follow later for the immediate family.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Carole’s honour to the Odette Cancer Centre or a charity of your choice, would be greatly appreciated by the family.
Morley Bedford is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
