Married in 1962 to the love of her life Bob Edwards, they were blessed with two children Blair and Coreen. The next 15 years Caroll remained home raising her family. Fulfilling a dream Caroll became a L.P.N. working in Surgery at the Mall Medical. A new adventure began when Caroll became the owner, operator of Fellowship Book Centre. This was her passion for the next nine years until she retired. Caroll will be remembered for her compassionate heart, always ready to volunteer for different committees. Caroll was a talented seamstress, crafter and cook, but her greatest accomplishment was her daily example of a truly Godly woman. The family would like to thank the Buhler Cancer Centre doctors and staff for their wonderful care. Thank-you also to the Palliative program that made it possible for Caroll to spend her final days at home with family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Calvary Temple Red Rock Camp Retreat Centre or CancerCare Manitoba.

My Aunt Caroll will be missed by all that knew and loved her. She was a very loving and kind person. She was such an important influence on all our lives and I am thankful to have so many wonderful memories with her. She had a great sense of humor and she was always there for all of her family. She gave us so much love and for that I will always be thankful that God put her in our lives. She has always been an inspiration to me. I will miss her very much. - Posted by: Katrina Jackson (niece and daughter of Noreen Ford) on: Jul 16, 2013

We were so blessed to have known Caroll. She was a truly remarkable woman of strength and courage. She will be greatly missed. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one is gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they will live on in the heart. Rest in Peace Caroll... <3 - Posted by: Karen, Brian, Kailyn & Josh Reimer (Family Friend) on: Jun 19, 2013
