It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother, sister and grandmother, Beverly “Raylene” Carroll. Her passing took place on January 19th, 2019, in Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Margaree Centre, August 31st, 1959, she was a daughter of the late Roland and Christine (Ryan) Ingraham. Raylene is survived by her beloved husband of 42 Years, Nick; sons, Ryan, Justin (Romanda), Nicholas and Dylan (Carly); honourary son, Evan Tompkins; as well as her grandchildren, Morgan, Hayden, Brock, Koby, Justin, Kieran, Kayla, Hailey and Holly.

Raylene lived the majority of her life in Margaree, but spent some time living in Alberta and British Columbia with her husband and sons during their work opportunities. Raylene was an enthusiastic supporter of her children and grandchildren in all their endeavours, and was often a proud face in the crowd to witness their many accomplishments - especially in basketball and tae kwon do. Over the years, Raylene made wonderful friends who will miss her dearly, especially her two faithful canine companions Lily and Lou. Above all, Raylene will be remembered as a tenacious woman who cherished her family, loved and was loved by many, and always tried her best.
