Carol Vivian Woods

Carol Vivian Woods passed away the morning of Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, at the age of 84 years.
Carol was born October 21, 1931 in Stellarton, Nova Scotia to Ella May (nee Fleming) and Leonard Talbot. She grew up in Stellarton and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1950. She was stationed in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, where she met John Francis Woods of Halifax, Nova Scotia. On October 25, 1952, she and John married in Manitoba. Life in the military took her and her growing family to a number of postings, including France, back to Nova Scotia, then Ottawa. They retired in 1990 where they ran a small farm near Inkerman (Winchester), Ontario.
She enjoyed a variety of creative pursuits and loved to spend her spare time on drawing, sewing, lace making and other crafts. She was also an excellent baker and loved to make pies for her family. Carol was in great health until the death of her beloved husband, John, in 2008.
Carol was known for kind and quiet ways and will be missed by all who knew her.
Carol is survived by her six children, Teresa (John), Michael and Stephen (Wei Wei) of Calgary, David of Edmonton, AB, Elizabeth (Rob) of Winnipeg, MB, Michaelle (Joe) of Toronto, ON; as well as grandchildren, Sean of Winnipeg, MB, and Maggie of Calgary.
