Head, Carol Lynne
March 8th, 2021
1939 – 2021
Following a courageous 4-year battle with pancreatic cancer, Carol peacefully passed away on Monday, March 8th, 2021, at the age of 81. Predeceased by her beloved husband of 51 years, Robert Colin. Loving mother of Stephen, of Guelph; Gordon (Milena), of Ancaster; and Donald (Carrie), of Oakville. Carol was the adored Nana of Megan and Evan. She was the daughter of Lois (née Johnstone) and Allan Jacques. She is survived by her brothers Allan (Geri) and Doug (Anna Sipos); nephew Matthew (Anne); and niece, Heather.
A beloved elementary school and piano teacher for over 30 years, she inspired the passion for music among a countless number of students. Carol was raised in Nepean, Ontario, and was a Class of 1961 graduate from the Toronto University Faculty of Music. After teaching for the Thames Valley District School Board, her passion for music continued as she balanced raising a family while teaching piano to hundreds of students. She was an avid fan of figure skating, supported her children’s competitive swimming, and always took the scenic route to learn or discover something new, to meet new people, or to enjoy the beauty of the journey. Later in life, she rediscovered the thrill and challenge of learning a new instrument and thoroughly enjoyed playing in the New Horizons Band. Her never-ending commitment to forge strong relationships and be an active member of the community enabled her to have a solid foundation of support from neighbours as her health declined. A special thank you to the Fiddlers Green community, Dr. M. Elia, White Wings, and St. Joseph’s Hospice. The family will forever be in your debt.
