Passed peacefully away on Tuesday, February 8th, 2011 with her family at her side. A brilliant and gentle woman with a loving and generous heart. Carol spent her youth in Harbour Grace and Bell Island before going on to a career in nursing education. Throughout her academic career, she still found the time to use her nursing skills on the front lines of nursing by volunteering with the Red Cross disaster program and by setting up parish nursing clinics in her church. Carol is predeceased by her parents Charles and Anna Powers, Cleveland, Ohio and her husband Ronald (Teet) Anonsen. Leaving to mourn her six children: Anne Marie, Maureen, Charlie (Ellen Turpin), Kay, Bill (Michele) and Jim; nine grandchildren: Joseph and Matthew Cooper, Michael Barrett, David and Anna Delaney, William Anonsen, Ron Anonsen and Erik and Colin Anonsen. The family gratefully acknowledges the compassionate care from the staff of St. Patrick’s Mercy Home and from Dr. Pat O’Shea. Resting at Caul’s Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road. Visitation Thursday, February 10th from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Funeral Mass on Friday, February 11th at 9:30 a.m. from St. Pius X Church, Smithville Crescent.
