Carol Thomlinson

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Carol’s passing. She was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2014, and although she fought so hard to stay with us, she passed away peacefully with her family by her side the morning of October 25, 2015 at the age of 67.

Carol is survived by her loving husband Dave; children Rochelle (Trent) Edwards and Carla (Marc) Saleski; grandchildren Meghan, Darbi, and Sydney Edwards and Benjamin, Mathew and Brooke Saleski. Sister Isabelle (Philip) Armbruster, brothers Ronald (Shirley) Schlamp and Delmar (Kathryn) Schlamp. Sisters-In-law Barbara Dunk and Mae Schlamp; Aunt Tillie Schlamp, her dear friends Gail Cole and Sandra Reeve as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Carol was predeceased by an infant daughter; her parents Philip Sr and Edith Schlamp; her sister Irma and brother-in-law Ken Steininger; brother Vernon Schlamp. Mother and Father-in-law Patricia and Gib Thomlinson; brothers-in-law James Aylmer Tingley and James Dunk.

Carol was born in Grenfell on February 7th, 1948 and lived on the farm until her parents moved to Grenfell where she attended high school.

She married the love of her life, Dave in 1968. They started their life together in Regina and this is where their daughters were born. In 1979 they moved back to Grenfell when they purchased a general store which they ran together until their retirement in 2012. Carol was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She was so very proud of family. Carol’s strength and positive outlook on life will forever be an example for us all to live by.

We would like to extend our gratitude towards the staff at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre, the Pasqua hospital and the Grenfell Health Centre.

In memory of Carol, please extend a favor or an act of kindness to someone in your life.
