Obituary of Carol Ann Williams

Carol Ann, wife of Dennis Williams of Yorkton passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, April 8, 2020. She was 72 years of age. Carol was born in Preeceville, SK on February 22, 1948 to Paul and Rose Romanyshyn. She was the first of two daughters. She originally lived on the farm, but shortly after turning school age, her parents built a house and moved into Preeceville. She graduated high school in 1965. After graduation, Carol attended Business School in Winnipeg, and shortly after, her and Dennis were married on July 15, 1967. Over the years, they lived in many places including Fox Valley, Southey, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, and Grenfell. They owned and operated several businesses including several hotels and motels. They moved to and settled in Yorkton in 1984 where Carol began her career at the Sunrise Health Region. She went on to achieve her Health Information Practitioner designation and worked in Mental Health for 32 years. She had recently retired only a short 6 weeks ago. Carol had two children; Jason born in 1975 and Jodi born in 1978. Her love for her family was fierce and grew even stronger with the arrival of her 4 grandsons: Barrett, Ryker, Reeve and Neko - the absolute joys of her life. Carol enjoyed traveling the world and took many trips far and wide with Dennis including Venezuela, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Eastern Canada and more. She also enjoyed many girls' trips with her sister, Doris and their daughters to places like Toronto, New York and not long ago, a trip of a lifetime through Western Europe. Carol enjoyed cooking, spending time at the lake, playing cards with friends, and walks in the evening; but probably her greatest joy of all was spending time with her grandsons, cheering them on while they played hockey and ball, listening intently and laughing with delight to their outrageous stories, and being up for anything they wanted to make them happy. Carol was predeceased by her parents, Paul and Rose. She is survived by her husband Dennis; her children: Jason (Jennifer) and Jodi (Brad); her sister Doris (Dan) and their daughter Renee (Kirk); and her grandsons Barrett, Ryker, Reeve and Neko. The Family Funeral Service was held on Monday, April 13th 2020 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Crystal Bailey, B.Th officiating. Music selections were 'Amazing Grace', 'Wind Beneath My Wings', and 'Be Not Afraid'. Jason and Jodi were the urnbearers. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com Service Details.
