Carol Dawn Harris
1963-2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Carol Harris (Hatt) of St.
George, NB, announce her passing on Wednesday August 19th, 2020 at the
Saint John Regional Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Carol
passed away peacefully with her loving husband Sterling at her side.
Carol was born May 29th 1963 in Blacks Harbour, NB to the late Henry
and Helen (Craig) Hatt.
Carol is survived by her adoring husband Sterling, daughter Eden and
son in-law Devin Troke, sisters Linda (Bob) Justason and Cathy (Steve)
Howes, nieces and nephews Evan Justason (Victoria), Tracy (Scott)
Underwood, Adam (Betsy) Howes, Matthew (Christina) Howes, Stephanie
Howes, and 8 great-nieces and nephews.
Carol was a lifelong member of the St. George Baptist Church where she
served as a youth group leader and Sunday School Superintendent for
several years. Organizing and directing the annual Christmas
production was one of her many passions and contributions to the
community.
Carol graduated from Fundy High School in 1981 and was awarded the
Birks Medal for Leadership. She earned her Bachelor of Education
degree from UNB in 1988 and taught kindergarten at St. George
Elementary for 25 years. Carol retired early from her passion of
teaching with immense regret in 2016 to combat her illness.
Carol and her family spent many enjoyable summers camping at Pine Cone
Campground in Sus, NB. Carol also loved to travel and had endless
stories of the family’s numerous adventures. Her travels
included Europe, Hawaii, multiple Caribbean Cruises, and of course
excursions to Florida and New York City. Carol’s love of
shopping was legendary, and trips to Bangor were frequent and
eventful. She enjoyed assisting family and friends with their own
travel plans. Many would say she could have excelled as a travel
agent.
