July 12, 1941 - October 14, 2024
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the quiet passing of Carol Heard at Saanich Peninsula Hospital with her beloved husband of 54 years, Warren, at her side. She passed after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
Carolyne Anne Hay was born on July 12, 1941 at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver to parents, Grace and Hendry Hay.
Carol is survived by her husband Warren, sister and brother-in-laws Gerry and Peter Snel, nephew Richard Parker and many, many friends. She was predeceased by her parents Grace and Hendry Hay and brother, Bob Hay. Carol grew up in Vancouver and moved to Victoria in her 20s. She had a great and rewarding career at Capital Freightways Company and Hydroxyl Systems in Victoria and Sidney.
Carol and Warren loved the water and their boat, The Anderson Cove. They cruised the waters around the West Coast for over 35 years, and for years called their boat home. Carol enjoyed line dancing, cross stitching and cooking. She especially enjoyed volunteering in Sidney at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital with her doggies Muggins & Tillie bringing cheer to the patients, as well as the Thrifty Foods Sendial Program and Beacon Community Thrift Store for 18 years.
Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and caregivers at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital who took such good care, and brought such comfort to both Carol and Warren.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Palliative Care Unit.
