Caroline Ptak-Young Obituary

(July 13, 1971 – May 9, 2025) It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Caroline "Carrie" Justine Ptak-Young, who left us far too soon, at the age of 53. Carrie passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family on Friday, May 9, 2025, after a valiant battle with cancer. Carrie was a devoted mother to Charlotte and Katie Young; a cherished partner to David Brooks; a role model and dear friend to David's daughters, Emma and Alexandra; and the Brooks family. Carrie was a beloved daughter to Dr. and Mrs. Theadore Ptak; and sister to Theadore "Teddy" Ptak. She also leaves behind many dear friends. Carrie's passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all those that held her dear. Carrie's spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Her family extends their heartfelt thanks to the teams at Humber River Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital and the Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, donations in Carrie's memory can be made to the Odette Cancer Program at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Visitation to be held at Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel (2357 Bloor Street West, Toronto) on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 4:00 p.m-8:00 p.m.
