She studied and received her Bachelor of Education degree, Bachelor of Arts in Education degree and a special diploma in Early Education Services from the University of Calgary. She received her first teaching assignment at age 19 in Carseland, AB. This was the first of 30+ years in her teaching career that she poured her heart and love into and helped countless students.

A Viewing was held on the 5^th of October 2020 that was attended by family members. We will be organizing a get together at a later date to honour the love, passion and life of our mom Caroline. 

She is sorely missed by her family and friends.
