CAROLINE HARDIE With family by her side, Carol passed away on January 20, 2015. Carol is survived by her devoted husband of 55 years, Ron, her children, Laura (Kerry), Roy (Cherylene), Andrew, Valerie (Doug), and her grandchildren, Tom, Erik, Cole, Quinn, Tracey, Barbara and Kevin. Born in Winnipeg and growing up on the farm in St. Genevieve MB, Mom was the oldest daughter of 13 children. Mom was a member of the Warren UCW, the Warren Curling Club, the 1st Warren Scouts, and the Warren Hall Board. Warren will always be home and when Mom and Dad retired to Stonewall in 2003 the Warren ties were not broken, more great friends and neighbours were added to the circle. Mom worked at Bristol Aerospace in Stony Mountain, and at the Fire Program with the Province of Manitoba. Mom was given the gift of life through a donor kidney transplant in 1989. This was an extraordinary gift of 25 additional years of marriage and to be a significant part of her grandchildren's lives into adulthood. Forever grateful for that gift of life - for years she co-ordinated the Kidney Foundation canvas in the Warren area and until just the last year she distributed and collected Kidney Foundation donation coin boxes in local stores, rolling coins for hours. Mom and Dad travelled to Texas, enjoyed numerous bus trips to the U.S. and spent several winters in Penticton. The family would like to thank Rev. Robert Humble and his wife Heather for their support and visits at home, in the hospital and the dialysis unit. Special thanks to Dr. David Rush, Director of Transplant Manitoba, the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital, in particular to the Dialysis Unit 1 and Unit 2 staff and to Bob and Brenda in spiritual care for their support and guidance. Thanks to family, friends and neighbours from Warren and Stonewall for your love, your stories, your gifts of time and food and messages of support. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Manitoba Branch, www.kidney.mb.ca or 1-800-729-7176 or the Warren United Church, Box 324, Warren, MB R0C 3E0, are appreciated. A celebration of life will be held Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, 433 Main St., Stonewall. MACKENZIE FUNERAL HOME STONEWALL mackhome@mts.net (204) 467-2525

  • Dear Ron and family, Carol was a wonderful friend and neighbour. My childhood is full of Carol moments! Whenever someone needed a helping hand Carol was the first one to offer. Her common sense approach, wonderful smile and "can do" attitude will be missed amongst her friends and family. I will never forget learning to make pickles as a child with Carol! Oh boy, she was patient! Her family will miss the rock that she was over the years. Carol and all of you are in my thoughts. Edna McLellan - Posted by: Edna McLellan (Family friend) on: Jan 30, 2015

  • Living next door to Andrew for the last 14 years has given us the opportunity to get to know Carol and Ron well. Two people that I loved to hear bicker back and forth as I missed that with my parents. Carol always stuck up for me telling my hubby he should do more. She had a lot of spunk and didn't care. Thank you Carol for always trying to help me fit in, Warren being from the military and knowing no one here. Thank you Carol for all you have done and for all the help we know you will be in heaven. - Posted by: Roxann and Ian Robbins (Friends and neigbours) on: Jan 23, 2015

  • After meeting our new friends, Kerry & Laura, it was an additional bonus to get to know Carol & Ron. Their relationship is so unique, quite literally like peas in a pod. So much did Carol remind Donna of her own mom, who passed away in 2000, that Donna had a special attachment to Carol. Our sons have a happy memory of Carol at our cottage, playing cards and wearing football helmets and laughing so hard that it quite scared Ron, Kerry and Dan who were outside by the campfire oblivious to what was going on inside. Ron and Carol - we will forever love you both. May you rest in peace Carol. The Schaefer Family - Posted by: Dan & Donna Schaefer (Friend) on: Jan 22, 2015
