She is survived by her loving soul mate Allan. They were married for 62 years and had four children. Shaunda (Dave), Patsy (Craig), Rodney (Kristy) and Dee Dee (Terry).

Carole was born in Ninette, Manitoba on March 22, 1942 during a snow storm. She loved her family baseball team and they won often. Shortly after high school, she married the love of her life on September 22, 1962

Her kids were her life. She was always running to 4-H, hockey , horse shows and everything else the kids were in. Allan and Carole were avid squares dancers and Carole loved to curl. She always was first to volunteer whenever it was needed. From 4-H leader to decorating for a national square dance event. Her garden was always full and plentiful, and butter tarts and peanut butter cookies were world class and sought after by many. Allan and Carole had Al-Car farms on which they raised horses and grew grain crops. Breeding horses and standardbred harness racing filled up their time. Carole is predeceased by her parents and in laws. Her brothers Bud, Gordon, Murray, Jim , Bill and Ted and sister Betty were waiting to envelop Carole into their arms in heaven.
