It is with utter sorrow that we share the passing of Carolyn Louise Morris (nee Sproxton). Carolyn had battled cancer for the past 2 ½ years. Her journey came to an end on Saturday, June 3rd 2023, in Burghausen, Germany. Carolyn was surrounded by family and her best friend as she left us peacefully in her sleep.
Carolyn and her family had recently traveled to Germany to continue her valiant fight against cancer. She embraced her journey, as she did her life, with an inspiring amount of courage, determination, and positivity. Through all the challenges she faced, she continued to celebrate the joy in her everyday life.
Carolyn will be greatly missed by her beloved husband of 24 years, Jim, two precious boys, Jack and Alex, her furbaby Hattie, parents Howard and Ingrid Sproxton and Cathy Booth, brother Paul (Sandra) Sproxton, sisters Carolynn Gaudet, Chrissy (Mike) King, grandmother Irene Elliot, father and mother-in-law Gary and Sharon Morris, brother-in-law David (Jill) Morris, sisters-in-law Tammy Morris, and Suzie (Danny) Irwin, and her nieces and nephews Ryan, Derek, Miya, Charlotte, Jennifer, Morgan, Shelby and Jacob, along with many extended family members and friends.
Carolyn was born on June 19th, 1974 in Newmarket, Ontario. She grew up in Scarborough, Aurora and Orangeville. She earned a Bachelor of Commerce, Honours Business Administration degree from the University of Windsor, where she met her life partner and best friend, Jim. They were married on June 26, 1999, at Hockley Valley Resort. She began her professional career in Finance before deciding to focus on raising her boys and creating a wonderful life for her family. In 2009, Carolyn achieved her Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto, and spent 15 years enriching the lives of many students as a high school business teacher, primarily at Humberview Secondary School where Jack and Alex attended and graduated.
Carolyn was fiercely committed to her family, and together with Jim, created a life filled with love, laughter, and many cherished memories. She taught her boys to work hard, believe in themselves, always have fun, and see the good in everyone.
She cherished their time at the family cottage on Lake Manitouwabing. This was truly Carolyn’s happy place. She loved sitting on the dock, kayaking, working on cottage improvement projects, and playing board games with her family and friends. Many people would remember well Carolyn’s famous strawberry, whipped cream, waffle breakfasts.
Her true passion and gift was teaching. She was an incredible teacher who saw the best in every student and inspired them to believe in themselves and reach their unique potential. Her impact on so many students was immeasurable. During her years of teaching, she created and delivered lesson planning that allowed her students to not only grasp the material but created a passion for business curriculum. She often would be found by an amazed Jim in the den working until 2 or 3 am preparing lesson plans for her classes.
Carolyn loved being active and enjoyed hiking, cycling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and kayaking. She was always up for an adventure and willing to try something new. Carolyn was always championing a race or a challenge on the many long weekends with the Sproxton or Morris extended families. Over the years, Carolyn competed in several triathlons and a half-marathon with her friends and Jim. During her battle with cancer, she completed two Ride to Conquer Cancer rides. The Ride to Conquer Cancer covers 220 km over two days with the 2022 ride including a torrential rain storm that led many riders to call it a day. Carolyn gritted through extremely challenging conditions to complete her Ride. She was never more proud of herself for persevering. She was a long-time active member of the Palgrave tennis club with the rest of the Morris family. Carolyn competed on several Ladies Doubles leagues, traveling to play other clubs across Dufferin-Caledon as well as competing in numerous club tournaments.
Carolyn understood the value of community and what it means to place your roots somewhere and watch what grows. She embodied community involvement and role modeling for younger generations. Not only did she belong to the Palgrave Tennis Club, she served on the executive for many years as Treasurer, Registrar, Vice President and ultimately President. She also volunteered for Scouts Canada, Caledon Minor Hockey, and several school intermural sports teams including track and field and ping pong. If a volunteer was needed, she was there with a positive and fun attitude.
Although her time here was too short, she felt extremely blessed with the richness of her life. In her final days she commented she had lived many full lives in the time she had.
Carolyn had a profound impact and gave many gifts to her family, friends and community and it feels impossible to capture her impact with words. She was generous, brave, loving, and smart. She lived life to the fullest and believed in choosing joy.
Through her battle with cancer, Carolyn and her family were supported by their many friends, extended family, and the Caledon community. After thanks to her primary care and cancer treatment team, a special thank you to her Caledon Crew (Michelle, Karen, Meredith, Jane, and Deana), Team Carolyn (Tracey, Sue, Karen, Aimee, and Robyn) her Golden Girls (Jasmine, Angie, and Caroline), Dave and Lisa and best friend and rock, Michelle, who stayed right by her side through the entire journey. They are forever grateful for the love and support provided by so many.
