- "NELSON, Carol Ann (neé Arnfinson). January 9, 1940 - August 18, 2015
It is with great sadness and much love that we say goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Carol Nelson, of Edmonton, Alberta, who passed away suddenly but peacefully in her sleep on August 18, 2015 at the age of 75.
Carol is lovingly remembered by her daughters Diane (Dennis), Kim and Tammy (Jon), and her son David Mervyn Nelson; grandchildren Nathan, Jason, Amy, Justin, Mathew, Tyler; siblings Illa Drever (Cochrane, AB), Terry Arnfinson (Coutts, AB), Corinne (Ian) Scott (Kitimat, BC) and Jonina Weir (Edmonton, AB). Carol will also be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, and other relatives and dear friends. Carol was predeceased by her husband Mervyn of 55 years, beloved parents Sigfus (Fusi) and Tresa, several extended family members and many of her cherished friends.
Carol was born in Edmonton, Alberta. She graduated from Wetaskiwin Composite High in 1958. Carol married Mervyn in 1959. She worked as a Telephone Operator at Alberta Government Telephones, then at Edmonton Telephones (Telus) until her retirement in 1992. The family lived in Wetaskiwin, Edmonton and Devon until both Mervyn and Carol's retirement, and then they began their travelling adventures.
The family wishes to thank her good friends, Hazel and Margo, for all of their help and support through the years, and especially since the passing of Dad on December 16, 2014.
At Carol's request, there will be no service; cremation has already taken place. Carol's ashes will be scattered globally in beautiful places by her family. In her memory, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Arrangements in care of Trinity Funeral Home.
