It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Carol Anne Gisele McInnis on Jan. 26, 2010, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Surrounded by her family and close friends she passed into God’s hands with open arms. Your pain and suffering are now over, be at peace with the Lord and someday we will meet again.
Carol was born in Niagara Falls, Ont., December 31, 1960. She was married to Michael Daniel McInnis formerly of Georges River, Cape Breton, N.S. She was the daughter of Irene Ladouceur-Lalonde (nee Morisette), Cornwall, Ont. and the late Roger Ladouceur, St. Gerome, QC.
Besides her husband, Carol is survived by her four children, Matthew Bolwerk of Oromocto, N.B., Chantal Bolwerk of Chilliwack, B.C., Stephen McInnis and Madison McInnis both at home. Carol is also survived by her stepfather/dad, Florien Lalonde of Cornwall, Ont.; her four brothers/sisters, Conrad (Mary) of NH, Diane (Keith) Ladouceur-Shields of Prescott, Ont., Stephen (Tracy) of Niagara Falls, Ont., Lynn Ladouceur of Prescott, Ont. Her in-laws, Veronica McInnis of George’s River, Cape Breton, Elmer (Karen) McInnis of Lincoln, N.B., Cathy McInnis of George’s River, Dale (Ramona) McInnis of Ft. McMurray, Alta., Linda (Doyle) Turner of Ft. McMurray, Patrick McInnis (Callista MacMullin) of George’s River, Janet (Donnie) LeBlanc of Sydney Mines and predeceased by brother-in-law, Stephen McInnis, formerly of George’s River. Carol will also be remembered by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.
Carol was a 22 year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. She served her country as a medical assistant at numerous bases across Canada. She loved her job deeply and enjoyed the camaraderie that the forces brought to her life. Carol was also a very passionate hockey-mom who could be found sitting at the rink cheering on her children almost every weekend until her illness. Her personal quote to her kids when they played hockey was “work hard - play with your heart - have fun”. This was how Carol lived life and how many will remember her. From the confines of the base hospital at CFB Gagetown, to the stands at Soldier’s Arena or in the garage at their home with friends; Carol was full of life.
Cremation has taken place at the Oromocto Funeral Home and there will be no visitation. A funeral service in her honour will be held on January 30, 2010 at St. Vincent DePaul in Oromocto, N.B. at 11 a.m. officiated by Fr. Monte Peters. Carol’s remains will be laid to rest at a later date in a private family service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada or the Military Family Fund. http://www.cfpsa.com/en/corporate/mfamily/history_e.asp.
