Mr. Speaker, Carol Williams, a resident of Coldstream in my riding of Okanagan—Shuswap, passed away on February 26 of this year.
Carol's life was one of dedication to her career as a nurse, her family and her community.
Her love of life was always evident not just by what she did for the community but also how she did it. Carol served as a Coldstream councillor and director of the Vernon winter carnival and was an active organizer and volunteer in the Vernon region.
When I met Carol she was the chair of the Okanagan Regional Library. At that time she was in her 70s. I was so impressed by her energy level and dedication to her position and those that she served. She was a great example to me.
Carol will be missed by her husband Verne, three children, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Carol's smiles, hugs and service will be missed by the community she loved.
