Carol O'Brien Obituary
February 5, 1954 - October 8, 2014
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Carol on October 8, 2014, following a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Adoring mother to her children, Melissa Halpert (Ryan Best) and Adam Halpert. Beloved daughter of the late Joseph O'Brien and the late Jeanette Arsenault. Cherished older sister of Gary O'Brien and Donna O'Brien (Réjean Tourigny). Dear friend of Marc Halpert, Katrina Grant and the entire Halpert family. Carol will be dearly missed by her many cousins, nieces, colleagues and friends. Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at the West Island Palliative Care Residence - Stillview Pavilion. A celebration of Carol's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the West Island Palliative Care Residence or the Melanoma Network of Canada.
