Weary of reading obits noting a courageous battle with illness or complications from surgery, Carla wanted it known that she died exactly how she lived.... remarkably stubborn, ignoring doctors and the medical establishment in general.
She was a feisty trouble maker to the nurses and doctors in the last couple months and packed it in when she was dam good and ready. She lived a life with a quiet and remarkable strength…unless it was while watching curling or the Saskatchewan Roughriders…. in which case it was impressive to see how loud such a short woman could be.
She proudly raised a little hell and more than a few Rum and Cokes along the way with Judy, the Gordons, and the friends, family and the elderly patients she cared so much about…. she is flipping you the bird executive team at her favorite Nursing home. She leaves behind 4 kids including one son who is remarkably handsome, one who is somewhat rotund with a tremendous amount of facial hair, one daughter with a greatly over-sized and warm heart and the another as stubborn and strong willed as she was.
Life lessons she gave us? Throwing balls in the house within 50 feet of an aquarium is guaranteed to generate some extra excitement, especially when you start by blaming your son…..there are definite limits to the amount of lemon juice you should bake desserts with….apples, flour, eggs and milk are a perfectly acceptable dinner, and whoever invented those alcoholic chocolates…. you screwed up the ratio of chocolate to alcohol….. never go easy on the alcohol.
She also leaves behind 6 incredible grand kids, better prepared for this world because of the strength and unconditionally love she showed us all. Enjoy some well-earned rest mom…. thanks for all the memories.
