  28. Emily McLeod

    To Carole’s family and friends: My thoughts and prayers are with you at this particularly difficult time. Carole was a wonderful friend to me and my family throughout the years. She was a leader in the community, giving generously of her time to youth groups, and church groups, even when she was working. She and her husband Scotty were friendly with my parents, going out to celebrate on New Year’s Eve a few years in a row. In later years, Carole came to Florida with me to help look after our two sons when I was visiting my mother. She also visited me twice here in Richmond Hill, the most recent time being in June, 2018, to help celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I teased her that she was my anniversary gift to myself, since no one from my family, nor my life in Port Mouton could attend. Sadly, it was only three weeks after that, that she discovered she was ill. She will certainly be missed by me and my family.

  31. Donnie and Valerie

    A sincere condolences to Carol’s Family. I remember once Carol called me all the way from New Brunswick for my biscuit recipe, I thought she was next door I had no idea it was a long distance recipe. I believe she was making biscuits for her family.

    TO ALL OF CAROLS’ FAMILY
    SO SORRY TO HER OF CAROLS’ PASSING. SHE WILL BE SADLY MISSED. R.I.P. CAROL

  33. Tim McDonald

    I was very saddened to learn of Carol’s passing. I first met Carol in the late 1970s when I was attending high school. Me and a group of friends went to the local Stedmans store for lunch everyday and so did Carol and her co workers from the Royal Bank. We became friends and over the years that followed, she offered wisdom and guidance to us “kids”. Over the following 40 years, whenever I would see her, our conversations were as good as ever. If we hadn’t seen each other for a long period of time, it didn’t make any difference. It was like we had seen each other the day before. I looked forward to the occasional time that we’d accidentally see each other. I will miss those conversation and I will miss her. She was a special lady.

  36. Mattie Boyd

    Carol and I have been friends since 1955. We made many memories together and will always remember her love of life.
    Love from Mattie and family

  37. Julia & Justin Colp

    Carol was an amazing lady and I will never forget the Christmas she spent at our home in Alberta in 2014. Carol will be greatly missed and always in our hearts.

  43. Maggie and Peter Fortey

    Dear Cheryl, Bill, Sarah, Brittany and Christa.
    We are so saddened by the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. Carol was one of the first friends that Peter and I made when we first settled in Port Mouton almost thirty years ago.
    During the time we knew Carol (and Scotty) they grew very dear to us.
    We soon became part of their close Port Mouton community. Carol was a gracious and hospitable hostess, There were many special times occasions at their home Carol that called, “Scotty’s Stew Nights”. Not only was the Scottish stew, delicious, but also Carols homemade bread, and wonderful desserts. During those times, Carol would gather her many dear and closest friends together, for an evening of warm companionship, and music. So many of us over the years can recall those happy singalongs at their home, accompanied by Scotty, (so talented on his accordion,) and John (Adams) singing and playing so skilfully on his guitar. Those evenings were treasured by everyone.
    Carol was also such a very kind friend, and hardworking person. When I was looking to buy a wedding cake for my daughters wedding…who offered to make one instead, Carol did. She along with her dear friend Janet (Colp) made a beautiful 3 tiered cake, which was so appreciated. There are so many other kindnesses that endeared Carol to us, too many to mention here.
    She was always there to lend a neighbourly hand. Give words of encouragement and her love.
    We also knew very clearly, just how much Carol loved her family. You were all so very important to her.
    We came to know you through Carol. She was so proud of each of you. We will miss your mother and grandmother very much. Such a dear dear friend, and a truly special person.
    Please accept our deepest sympathy at your great loss.
    With love and respect
    Maggie and Peter

    To Carol’s family I extend my sincere condolences to you on the loss of your mom. We were friends for a long time. I first met your mom while taking care of my grandmothers finances at the bank. A long time ago now. We always enjoyed a repartee and after she retired she was involved with my organization. All this led to a mutual appreciation for each other and friendship. I will miss her. My thoughts are with you.
