She was predeceased by her mother Dorothy Louise Cree (nee Mewhinney) in year 2000, her father Thomas Douglas Cree in year 1978 and her loving brother Stephen Cree in year 1996.      At the age of five Carol wanted to be a nurse and she fulfilled her dream immediately after high school, graduating from Mack Training School for nurses, Ontario in 1960. Her nursing career spanned 45 years and included hospital nursing, psychiatric nursing, concluding with 24 years as a nurse at the Port Perry Nursing Home in Ontario. Carol enjoyed continuous learning, courses in Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and would offer these services free to anyone who could benefit from it. She was selflessly committed to making the world a better place.      Carol loved her family and friends very much, and she will be remembered dearly by family members and many friends.

Carol performed endless caring deeds in her lifetime. Our mom was a very kind, caring, loving person.
