Avis de décès de C. -Elaine Carr - Nécrologie - MesAieux.com

CARR, C. Elaine Beloved wife for sixty years of Lt. Gen. (Retired) Bill Carr and adored mother of Virginia, Peter and predeceased son David, Grandmother of Zachary and loving son-in-law Angus, Virginia's husband, at the Elisabeth Bruyere Palliative Care Centre on June 9, 2008. She suffered a heartbreaking bout with untreatable cancer. At Elaine's request there will be no visitation. A Memorial Service to Celebrate Elaine's happy and remarkable life will be held at Pinecrest Remembrance Chapel (2500 Baseline Road, Ottawa) on Friday, June 13 at 2 p.m. The Service will be conducted by Rev. Eleanor Moreithi, Bill's sister. An opportunity to meet the family will follow the Service. To her family and friends, Elaine was a totally honest, modest, compassionate, very private and caring person of unusual strength, and to her family "The Rock" which held together through twenty-nine moves in the military. During the following thirteen years, she accompanied Bill on his worldwide travels in their new aerospace industry career. In the early Eighties, they chose Amberwood as the place to finally settle down. She participated actively for many years in its community activities, including golf, in which she excelled. Elaine was gifted with a wry sense of humour which, while never biting, was always telling. In every way, she was a beautiful human being, loyal, full of fun, positive and unflinching. Elaine's ashes have been interred in the Family Memorial at Pinecrest Cemetery. In keeping with Elaine's belief that real charity is a blessing, for those who choose it, a donation to the Ottawa Mission in her memory would be appreciated.
