Carol-Ann Kersten

While her departure leaves an emptiness that words cannot fully express, her memory will forever fill the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Born on March 25, 1952 in the Bronx, Carol-Ann was a force — bold, loving, fiercely independent, and funny in the kind of way that stayed with you. Carol-Ann was known for her warm smile, generous spirit, and her ability to make everyone feel at home. Whether through her open arms, her simple presence, she brought light and peace into the lives of those around her.

Carol-Ann will be remembered for her strength, her unconditional love, and the legacy of kindness and resilience she instilled in her family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her five children: Heather, Sean, Timmy, Daniel and Dawn and her 7 grandchildren: Kaylan, Kyle, Jake, Jace, Dustyn, Brayden and Luke, and countless friends and extended family members who cherished her dearly.
