Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCARLYE LYNNETTE ELIZABETH ROSS
We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of Carlye Ross on November 21, 2024.
She is survived by her cherished children, Dylan and Emily, her stepdaughter Jessie, and her loving mother, Veronica Picard. Carlye was predeceased by her father, David Ross, and her stepdaughter, Catherine.
Carlye had many part-time jobs as a young woman and truly enjoyed working in the food industry. However, her greatest fulfillment came from being a stay-at-home mom, a role she embraced with all her heart. When she was not working, she devoted her time to her children, helping with school field trips, organizing paper mache days, and serving as the beloved "milk mom" for several years. Although she attended college for a year of accounting, Carlye quickly realized that an office job was not for her, leading her back to her passion for the food industry.
In addition to her love for her children, Carlye had a big heart for animals. She rescued a dog named Cassie, who faced many challenges, and through her love and dedication, Carlye transformed Cassie into a beautiful and integral part of her family.
Carlye was a vibrant young lady with a zest for life. She loved spending time at the beach or wandering through parks filled with trees alongside her family, creating cherished memories. Her sense of humour, creativity, kindness, gentleness, and strength were evident in everything she did. Carlye had a passion for shiny things, particularly jewelry, and had a remarkable talent for crafting beautiful, shiny creations.
Like a sparrow in a hurricane trying to find her way, Carlye fought tirelessly but ultimately lost her battle. She was deeply loved and will leave an enormous void in the lives of all who knew her.
In honour of Carlye, we emphasize the importance of kindness to those struggling with addiction. A Celebration of Life will be held on May 31, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 356 Linwood Street. A special thanks to Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel for their care and support

Almost a year Carly Ross. And the words and thoughts still open the ache of not having you in my life ……….. This is everything I wanted to say to you from the moment I met you and I didn't know the words to say ………… I know we’ve only just met, and I don’t mean to move too fast but I couldn’t sleep last night because I don’t know your middle name or how you take your coffee. And for some reason there is nothing in the world I would like to know more except maybe how your hair looks like when it's messy in the morning or what makes you laugh until you cry or what makes you laugh when you’re crying either or both or all of those facts would be fine and I know we only just met and I don’t mean to move too fast but I couldn’t focus this morning because I need to know your preference for take out food and the dreams you’d never say out loud but secretly wish to come true and I were to buy you flowers would you want them to be blue and I know only just met and I don’t mean to move too fast but suddenly your thoughts is in my head playing on repeat and I’ll probably never say any of this and I should probably get some sleep it’s just that suddenly everything that's significant to you is significant to me. - Posted by: Darrel (Friend) on: Aug 17, 2025

Hey girl, well I'm sitting here thinking about you not knowing how to do this. I will never forget the day I met you. I will never forget the special times we shared. Your laugh, your smile, those beautiful eyes. You were there for me when many just used and abused me. We tried to help one another with our addictions but we never succeed until recently. Nov 21 2024 was the day I entered detox, lasted 7 days there and then moved on to afm.. There is thrived to get better for my kids and for myself...I got a call from a friend tell me to sit down he's got something I need to hear but need to be sitting down...I was like must be important. I said ok what's up? He said your best friend is gone. Silence took over for a moment, I said what did you just say? He said, your best friend Carlye she's gone.i could remember that moment when it actually registered...ismelled your scent for a split second and I broke down...I screamed NO IT CANT BE TRUE...I fell apart, I struggled accepting you were gone never going to see you again. Never get another text from you or a mere hug that we both loved so much when saw each other...I keep struggling, missing you so much.. I will never forget you Carlye ever! The day I found out of your passing I found out that you passed on the day my journey to sobriety began Nov 21 2024...I then wanted to honor you memory with staying sober. I succeeded for 22 days and then I fell, I couldn't focus. I cried everyday I was just not doing good learning the the day u passed was the day I became sober . Something inside of me couldn't live with that even though it should have made me fight harder bit it didn't.. well I left treatment and I used and I hurt even more then that day...Why, why did I leave wtf was i thinking..I beat myself up over it so bad, I cried hysterically I thought was going nuts..Then there you were standing over me as I slept, you were as real to me as I could smell your perfume, you bent down and whispered in my ear. What you said to me was, Don't stop fighting, get back on your feet and fight! I'm at peace, I'm not longer hurting. And you waved to me as you disappeared. I cried so hard. But I am back fighting this addiction. It's been 32 days since I relapsed and I won't stop fighting. I LOVE YOU CARLYE ROSS YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND..FLY HIGH BEAUTIFUL. TILL WE MEET AGAIN MY FRIEND 🧡 WIFEY FOR LIFEY 🫶🏻💜💜 - Posted by: Mandi edmiston (Best friend) on: Feb 01, 2025

Thoughts and prayers go out to you Ronnie. It’s never easy. We both know that so well through our little talks. You know I’m here if you need to talk. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone outside of the picture. - Posted by: Cathy Schultz (Family friend ) on: Dec 07, 2024
