Carol Audrey Robinson, cherished sister and beloved mother, passed away suddenly at the age of 68 at Sault Area Hospital on Thursday, December 16, 2021.
She was a peerless woman with an incredibly large heart and boundless compassion for others, a loving grandmother, a devoted wife, and a beautiful soul. While her priorities remained focused on her family and her friendships, she put forth much effort into aiding those in need with what she could, showcasing the depth of her generous nature. Her favourite activities included knitting the warmest gifts for those around her, baking what simply were the tastiest of pastries, and every chance she got she would go fishing. During her adult life she worked a variety of jobs but she ultimately found her life calling in the field of property management. Through it all she dreamed of moving out to the west coast of Canada and in 2004 she embarked on a new adventure in Vancouver, BC. While there, she met and fell in love with her soulmate, Darrel Evans.
During her life she lived with gentle simplicity, finding delight in providing the small comforts of a loving home. She cherished her children and her cats that she adopted throughout her life. Carol was an absolute force of nature when it came to helping those in need and those around her. She would always invite acquaintances, coworkers, and newly-met people into her home to share a coffee or some of her baking with, espousing the philosophy that there are no strangers; only friends you haven't met yet.
Carol loved nature and took special pleasure in touring gardens and watching birds sing and fly, especially robins (which she affectionately called 'Robinsons'.) Some of her favourite memories include several summer family fishing trips to the camps at Tunnel Lake. In her time on the west coast she led the community in her complex, always going above and beyond to meet the needs of all the tenants and friends in the property she managed. She leaves behind her family who misses her deeply, dear friends who mourn her loss, and shoes too big for anyone else to fill.
She joins her husband Darrel Evans and her parents Melvin and Audrey; step-father, Lynn; and sister, Beverly. She is survived by her sister, Mary-Lou and her partner, Ernie; son, Daniel; son, Paul; daughter-in-law, Lisa; niece, Julie; nephew, Paul; step-daughter, Nicole; grandsons, Rylan and Brayden; great-niece, Ella; great-nephew, Matthew; and countless friends throughout the world.
A celebration of Carol's life will occur from 1 pm to 3 pm with a time of sharing at 2 pm on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at Arthur Funeral Home - Barton & Kiteley Chapel (492 Wellington St. East 705-759-2522). Covid restrictions apply, masks and social distancing.
