We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Carol Anne on Friday, May 13, 2016 in Weyburn. Carol Anne was born in Lampman, and grew up in Ceylon. She graduated from Teacher’s College in 1963. Carol then nursed at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Regina for many years. Carol and Ernie married in 1965 and moved to the family farm near Colfax in 1972 when she began her new career of farm wife and raising three strapping, hungry boys. She was a fantastic cook and delivered many meals out to the fields during seeding and harvest. Carol was an avid reader, movie buff and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the daily newspaper crossword. She was known and loved by many and her sense of humour and infectious laugh could light up any room. She will be greatly missed especially by those who called her ‘mom’. Carol was predeceased by her parents, Pete and Sadie Zimmerman, and the love of her life, Ernie Kot. She is survived by her sons, Laverne (Debbie Dollimount), Michael (Rhonda Eichel), Nick and grandson, Grayson. Special thanks to her loving extended family Shirley and Greg Barry and their sons, Laura Pattyson and her children. Thank you for all the help, love and care you gave our Mom. Prayers were said on Thursday, May 19, at 7:00 p.m. and the Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Friday, May 20, at 10:00 a.m. Both services were held from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn, with Father Gerry Bauche presiding. Urnbearer was Greg Barry. Honourary pallbearers were Grayson Kot-Jensen, Mathew, Kyle and Tyler Barry, Anna and Kevin Pattyson. Donations in memory of Carol may be made to Heart & Stroke Foundation or Diabetes Association of Canada. Condolences may be left at: www.fletcherfuneralchapel.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, (306) 842-5432.
