Charles Dean Folks

Charles Dean Folks, known to all as Chuck, was born on February 21, 1947, in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He passed away peacefully in St. Albert, Alberta, on March 20, 2026, at the age of 79. He was surrounded by his family.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 58 years, Caroline, and their children, Cindy (Dwayne McCorriston) and Daryl (Eva). His family remained his greatest source of pride and joy throughout his life, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Brady McCorriston (Sarah) and their sons, Callen and Rory; Tanner McCorriston (Madison) and their daughter, Holly; Carter McCorriston (Jeannie); Hailey (Coleton Nickol); and grandchildren Darian, Lara, and Jesse.

He is also lovingly remembered by his siblings: Sharon (Lester Wolfrey), Elizabeth Jean Morgan, Patricia (Martin Potvin), Theresa, and Andrew (Shelly). He is survived as well by Caroline’s siblings, Dwayne Peters (Frances), Sharon (Larry Hinz), and Terry Peters, along with many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, Laurie and Marjorie Folks; his brother, Edward; and his parents-in-law, Harold and Phyllis Peters.

Chuck was a passionate, loving, and family-focused man who found joy in every moment spent with his loved ones. He was always present in their lives, cheering on his grandchildren at hockey and lacrosse games, sharing in the enjoyment of

their musical performances, and spending time together. He especially enjoyed gathering with family for evenings of cards, dice, and marbles. He valued what mattered most and lived each day with quiet devotion, kindness, and consistency. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

The family extends their sincere gratitude to the doctors and staff at Sturgeon Hospital for their compassionate care.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Chuck’s memory may be made to the MS Society of Canada.

A Celebration of Life will take place at Memories Funeral Home on April 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM.
