I lived far from Carol (and the rest of my Winnipeg family) but I remember many a visit with her, Viola, and Irwin when they visited us in Ontario. Those visits were always filled with lots of laughter and it was always fun to hear Carol’s characteristic laugh or an “oh!” with a swat/wave of her hand when things got a little… outlandish.
After moving to California she was a “connector” - always great about keeping in touch, taking a keen interest in everything going on in my life and keeping me up to date on everything going on with my extended family in Winnipeg. It had been almost 20 years since I had seen Carol until I visited Winnipeg last year. Although time had changed us all, she was still the Carol I remembered. Inquisitive, funny, silly, happy to laugh, and to reminisce and explore our shared family history.
She was unique and I’ll miss her greatly.
