Carol MILROY Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald on Oct. 9, 2012.
MILROY, Carol Dianne
March 8, 1947 – October 3, 2012
Carol went to be with her Lord, peacefully, on October 3, 2012 with her family at her side. Carol is lovingly remembered by her husband Hume of Cochrane, two sons, Chad (Jen Faszer) of Calgary, Darcy (Cherie-Ann Grams) of Grande Prairie and four grandsons. Carol was a wonderful daughter of Art and Irene Clymer of Scarborough, Ontario, sister of Joan, Lorraine, Cliff and Marilyn all of Ontario, aunt, grandma, sister-in-law and a warm friend to all whom she met. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and the many friends whose lives she touched. She was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, graduated from Tyndale University College, married Hume and moved to Calgary in 1978. She enjoyed a career as an administrator in many corporate and professional settings. Her first loves were always her family and her faith which she nurtured on a daily basis throughout her entire life. We would like to acknowledge all the wonderful caregivers that made Carol's journey a little easier to bear: Cochrane Primary Care, AHS Community Care, many FMC physicians, the Palliative Intensive Care Unit, and various Cochrane pharmacists. She was also ministered to in many ways by the pastor and parishioners of St. Mary's Church, Cochrane, as well as by many friends in Cochrane, and we as a family will be forever grateful. A Memorial Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Mary's Catholic Church Cochrane on Thursday, October 11, at 11 a.m. with a reception luncheon and tributes, immediately following. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Carol's name to a charity of your choosing.

Hume,
I was sad to hear of the passing of your beloved Carol. It brought back fresh and fond memories of our RCIA journey together and it was always a delight for Chris and me to see you both from time to time at Sacred Heart. Although you and Carol had not been able to visit Sacred Heart during her illness you were often in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and your family with his love and comfort. Love and prayers, Karen and Chris <

Carol had one of the gentlest, most honest souls I have ever encountered, so open and loving. She was a gift to her family and her friends.

Mr. Milroy, Chad & Darcy,

Your wife & mom was a wonderful woman. I probably hadn't seen her in over 20 years, and yet, I can still picture her smiling face, and remember how kind she was, and how welcoming when we lived across the street. It is amazing how people can come into our lives, whether for the briefest of moments, or the longest of lifetimes, and leave impressions of warmth, happiness, and fond memories. I am sorry for your loss, and have you all in my prayers.

It was so nice to see Carol during my short visit with you. I enjoyed talking to her and admire her courage and wonderful spirit. Her eyes lit up talking about her family who she held close to her heart. She will be greatly missed but her spirit will be watching over you all smiling. When Carol talked about the summer coming up it reminds me of this quote.
Living Your Life - And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years - (Abraham Lincoln).

I will not forget your kindness to me in driving me to church regularly all those years ago. I think of those little things now, and my heart is with you guys. Praying for you. -Dan

Talking with Aunt Carol when she visited Ontario in her last months truly showed the amazing faith she had in Jesus. She was so inspiring and uplifting. She will be missed. Our prayers go out to all the family through this.

Carol worked with me at Foothills Hospital and we stayed in touch for a few years after she left. She taught me that I need to be closer to God and I thank her for that. Know that she is now with our Lord and what a great place to be. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
