Austin Francis Careen
1940-2018
Careen, Austin Francis –
December 25, 1940 – July 3, 2018
Passed peacefully away at the Placentia Health Centre on July
3, 2018, age 77, with his loving family by his
side.
Austin lived his best life as a gentle soul, never needing
much, and so content with his lot in life. He never
complained about anything, and always enjoyed good
company.
He is predeceased by his parents Albert and Agnes Careen,
brothers Anthony and Charlie, sister Mary, niece Sherry, and in-laws
Shelly and Ken.
Leaving to mourn are his sisters Connie, Donna (Eddie), Lena
(Wally), Debbie (Clarence), Deanne (Gerard), Cindy, and Violet;
brothers Tim, Val (Marion), Mike, Ken, Millie (Linda), Leo, and Bo;
sister-in-law Chris; brothers-in-law Jim and Dave; a large amount of
nieces and nephews; his close buddies from Branch; along with the
staff and residents from Beachside.
Austin spent most of his life in Branch and although his last
few years were lived in Placentia, his heart and mind were always back
in his community, especially these last few
days.
Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at Placentia Health
Centre for all you’ve done for Austin, and to the staff at Beachside
Manor, especially Eleanor. A heartfelt thanks to Val and his
wife Marion for their continuous care over the past many years, and to
his niece Leighanne for her loving care and
visits.
He will be resting at Maher’s Funeral Home in Placentia on
Thursday, July 5th from 11am to 9pm, and on Friday, July 6th at Holy
Rosary Church in Branch starting 12pm. Mass of Christian
Burial to take place 11am at Holy Rosary Church on Saturday, July 7th,
with interment to follow at Holy Rosary Cemetery in
Branch.
“Gone forever to rest with the old man and the old woman.”
