My deepest condolences to Karsten, Kalen and family. Biggest hugs to you all as you remember your mom in the upcoming weeks.

My deepest condolences to the whole family and especially Karsten and Kalen and Sharon. I remember when I used to come up from Stratford to my grandparents house on Wilson St and Paul and Mary were their neighbours. They were wonderful neighbours to my grandparents, looking out for them and helping them. I knew they loved sailing and were teachers but as I grew older I realized they were way more than that. They were go getters who had great vision and got things done. Mary was such a support for Paul and his myriad of ideas. Mary was kind and pleasant and had a wonderful laugh I remember. I was sad when they moved to Seaforth but our paths crossed and entwined may more times in life usually related to local history. The last time I saw Mary was at Paul’s celebration of life. I just wanted to hug her because I knew she’d be lost without Paul. So Mary, you were much loved, deeply respected and admired. You will live on in the hearts of your family and friends. My your memory be a blessing.

Sending you prayers and blessings as you navigate these difficult times.

Hoping treasured memories bring you comfort in the days to come.

Bill and I send our sympathy to the Carroll family. I would enjoy our chats when linedancing at Goderich Place.

Dear Karsten and Kalen and families, I knew both your mom and dad, and saw how much they invested into the community. Through art, gardening and education and of course their love of the lake. And through family. I met your parents when I was at the Huron United Way, so long ago now. And certainly when I was a parent of children in the school system. We were not close personal friends, but colleagues and acquaintances. I am grateful for time I spent with them. I am so sorry for your loss. Warmly, Kimberley

It was truly an honour to have been one of Mary’s colleagues in the 80’s and 90’s. She will be missed.

Dear Karsten, Kalen and families,
Sending our love and prayers to each of you during this difficult time. May you cherish the many fond memories you have and I hope they provide you with some comfort now and in the days ahead. ❤️🙏🏻

Sincere condolences to all of the family. I knew your Mother through your Dad, Paul, and education and art circles.
She was a lovely vibrant Lady who gave selflessly throughout her lifetime to the community and her family.

My heart-felt condolences to the Carroll and Brindley families on the loss of your sweet Mary. I mainly knew her through Paul. She was such a big support to him and his many projects. She was always friendly & smiling and I know she missed Paul terribly. I wish them both smooth sailing as they are united again and I hope many happy memories bring the family some comfort now.

Deepest sympathies to all. Mary was an old friend and as a couple, Paul and Mary, contributed a great deal to the Town of Goderich. May she rest in peace. Karen Sturdy

Our deepest condolences Karsten and Kalen on the loss od your lovely Mum. Mary as a primary teacher was like a Mum to do many hundreds of other kids you had to share her with. She was such a dedicated teacher who was so loving and caring in her vocation. Now she will be back together with your Dad. Joe and I also knew them well as concerned activists and supporters within our NDP movement and are privileged to have done so. Our deepest condolences.

Our deepest condolences to Karsten and Kalen and families. So many wonderful memories and I hope your memories help you with your grief

I got to know Mary while she was a resident at Goderich Place. I used to get her up to dance which always made her smile. Sharon you were a wonderful sister in law who went above and beyond caring for Marys’ needs. I would like to offer condolences to both the Carroll and Brindley families and I am sure Mary will be smiling with Paul by her side!!!

Dear Karsten, Ilse, Kalen, Jana, and Family,
Mary touched so many lives with her generosity of spirit and her gentle kindness. Her greatest joy was her family, and she was so proud of her beautiful grandchildren, Dré, Khloé, Kesler, and Mollie.
Karsten and Kalen, your family were treasured neighbours to our Mom Wilma, and your friendship meant so much to her. May your special memories of your beloved Mom and Grandma bring you comfort and peace. May your parent’s love, wisdom, and legacy continue to be a source of strength and inspiration to you and your family.
In deepest sympathy.
Mary (Oke) Wilson

Well Mary Elizabeth Carroll you are now with the love of your life. I can remember the two of you dating when I was in grade 9 and you two were in 12 or 13 in the early sixties. Then you got married and the rest is history. So many adventures together. You never complained you just enjoyed all of them and smiled with that beautiful warm smile that warmed the hearts of all of us around you. Sending love and hugs to heaven to embrace you both!!!!! Jo and Keith

My condolences Karsten. It is always hard losing a parent. Judging by the comments here you will have many special memories to treasure.

Our deepest condolences Karsten and Kalen and families over the loss of your mom. Mary was a kind, caring and thoughtful person. She enjoyed teaching her young students watching them bloosom into eager participants wanting to learn more each and every day from her.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mom. She was one of the most wonderful people. She was my daughter’s Kindergarten teacher and we will be forever grateful for her kind, caring way of teaching. She had a beautiful heart and I think of her often. Cherish your memories and know she is reunited with your dad.

Karsten, Kalen and family. We were saddened to learn of your mom’s passing. She thought so much of her students and they were always ready for the Junior grades when Mary taught them in the Primary grades. It was my pleasure to spend 8 years in Seaforth on staff with Mary. She will be missed by many from near and far. Our sincere condolences, Gwen & Ken Johnston.

Dear Karsten, Kalen & Families
Our sincere sympathy on the passing of your mom. Mary was a delight to be around. She sure enjoyed those hockey games back in the day.

Karsten, Kalen and family, I was very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I will always remember how patient she was as I clumsily retrieved errant tennis balls out of her beautiful gardens (after missing the road hockey net in my driveway on Goderich Street).
