1944 - November 26, 2024
Carol Lamb (Wylie) died peacefully on November 26, 2024 after many years of living with Parkinson's.
Carol was predeceased by her parents and her daughter Samantha.
Carol is survived by her husband Allan, her son Eric (wife Kirsten and children Aurora and Ivy), her
daughter Heather, and Samantha's children Haley (partner Tyler and daughter Eloise), and Eric, as well as her four siblings and many other family members. Carol had an adventurous spirit and introduced many people to her favourite outdoor activities of hiking, skiing, canoeing, and camping over the years.
She traveled a lot and was always eager to visit her kids wherever they happened to be living. We all have homemade knitted blankets, cross stitch pictures, and crocheted items to help us remember Carol and her love of handicrafts. She was a master scrabble and crib player and consistently beat all of us. She brought us up on homemade food, garden produce, and love. As adults, we couldn't leave her house without taking home excellent leftovers, fruitcake, and other treats. She always cooked and baked when she visited family, leaving freezers full.
We all benefited from her professional nursing skills at various times, as did her many patients over the years. Carol responded to her Parkinson's diagnosis by hiking, skiing, and traveling more vigorously than ever. She fought hard to remain active as long as she could and enjoyed socializing with her many friends. Her last years were not easy but she remained cheerful and pragmatic about her situation and continued to enjoy visits from family and friends up until the end.
We would like to extend our thanks to the staff at Simon Fraser Lodge and Dr. Pettersen for their care.
Special thanks to Carol's closest friend Rosemary for always being there for her and for us.
In lieu of flowers a donation to the Parkinson's Society of British Columbia or a good cause of your choice would be appreciated.
