Carol was born in Winnipeg, MB, on April 21, 1952, and raised by her two wonderful parents, Ida and Ed. Carol later married and had two sons, Richard and Harlan. Carol and her sons moved to Alberta in 1987, finally settling in Calgary in 1995 where she met her true love, her best friend, her husband: Ross Rothermal.

Carol and Ross were married in 2001 and purchased their forever home in Airdrie, AB in 2003. Carol was blessed with five grandchildren in her life and wore her titles of Nana and Grandma Carol proudly. Carol was a fun spirited, sassy soul who wasn’t scared to take on life’s challenges. Among her passions was her love of music and her love of family. Carol had a beautiful smile that could light up a room.

There are no words to express how grateful and blessed we are to have been given the opportunity to have known and loved Carol. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
