CAROLYN ZEMLA December 30, 1957 - July 21, 2017 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Carolyn Louise Zemla (nee Powell), aged 59 years, on Friday, July 21, 2017 at Lakehead Manor in Thunder Bay, Ontario, after succumbing to a lengthy illness. Carolyn was a long-time resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she was predeceased in 2005 by her beloved husband and soulmate, Barry Stan Zemla, and in 2010 by their treasured border collie Sally. Carolyn's ashes will be interred with husband Barry's at Green Acres Cemetery in Winnipeg at a later date. Born in Fort William, Ontario, December 30, 1957, Carolyn was the second eldest of four children. She is survived by her parents, Robert and Pauline Powell; and her sisters Elizabeth Epp and Jennifer Bowden, all of Thunder Bay. Carolyn is also survived by her brother Clifford Powell (Daniela) of Grand Valley, Ontario; nephews and nieces: Matthew and Aimee Epp; Brett, Brandon and Jordan Bowden; Alessia and Cristian Powell; and great-niece Brooklynn Paddock. Carolyn had a tremendous sense of humour and was a source of much joy and laughter for all those relatives and friends lucky enough to have been blessed to know her. She will be deeply missed by all of us. The family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Carolyn's close friend Leslie Morovek for all her help and support. Our many thanks also to the caring and supportive staff at Lakehead Manor, especially those working the fifth floor, who helped Carolyn find peace and comfort through her final days. For anyone who so chooses, donations in Carolyn's name may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, or any charity of their choice. A private family celebration of life will be held Sunday, August 13, 2017. Arrangements entrusted to the Sargent & Son Funeral Home, 21 N. Court Street
