Carol Kathryn Wilson
1938-2021
It is with heavy hearts that the family of
Carol Kathryn (Blight) Wilson announce her death on September 21, 2021
at Hospice in Fredericton. Carol was the loving wife of 60
years of Dr. Frank Wilson. Born in 1938 in Hillsborough, New
Brunswick, she was the daughter of the late Barry and Kathryn
(Thompson) Blight.
Carol is survived by her daughter Kathryn Wilson and son
Andrew Wilson, four grandchildren Erika King, Morgan King, Edward
Wilson and Charlotte Wilson, one great grandchild Elwood (King)
Anderson. Her family was the light of her life, and she
theirs. Her impact on our lives was immeasurable and she
taught us all the importance of caring, of being compassionate and the
value of family. She also leaves behind brothers William
(late Jesse) Blight and Lesley (Margie) Blight. She was predeceased by
one brother Barry (Elsa) Blight. She is survived by many
nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and great-great nieces
and nephews, each of whom held a special and distinct place in her
heart and who loved their “Auntie Carol”. Carol
provided a safe and welcoming space for all of her
family.
Carol attended Mount Allison University and was a graduate of
the New Brunswick Teacher’s College. She taught
early elementary school in Riverview and Fredericton. After
moving to England with her husband, who was studying engineering at
the University of Birmingham, she taught at Welsh Farm and Collingwood
schools for children with intellectual and developmental
disabilities. She loved this experience and spoke fondly
throughout her life about the children she taught during her
career.
After returning to New Brunswick she continued to work as a
substitute teacher and volunteered in the community. She was
actively involved in many groups including the Fredericton Music
Festival, the Saint Anne’s Anglican Church Choir,
Fredericton Chorale Society, Quilters Guild and the Art
Club. In early years she could be found volunteering with
Pony Club and any other activities in which her children were
involved.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Mohammed Khaleduzzman for his
compassionate care over the years, the nurses and physicians at the
Saint John and Fredericton Regional Hospitals and especially the
nurses and care providers at Hospice Fredericton.
There will be a service for family at the Saint
Mary’s Anglican Church in Hillsborough on Saturday,
September 25th at 11 am. A small reception for
immediate family only will follow at the Albert County Funeral
Home. Donations in memory of Carol may be made to Hospice
Fredericton, Saint Mary’s Anglican Church in Hillsborough or
