Carol Ann O'Brien

April 4, 1939 - March 5, 2025

Carol Bell O'Brien (née Sim) was born on April 4, 1939, to George and Lucy Sim in Verdun, Quebec.

In her early teens, the family moved to Cobourg, Ontario, where she lived with her parents, her older sister Lorraine Margaret (deceased), and her younger brother Gary Nelson (deceased) until September 1961, when she married Floyd William and moved to Toronto. Together, they raised three children. Carol dedicated her early years to raising her children before re-entering the workforce, where she worked for Hallmark Cards in the Party Goods Department until she retired at the age of 65.

Carol is predeceased by her son John Scott (1995). She will be deeply missed by her daughters Donna Lynne (Ed) and Janice Elaine.

She will also be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Brendan (Emerald), Kayleigh, Tyler (Heather), Ryan (Adrianne), Rachel (Tommy), Olivia (Cole), Jessica, Gabriella, and Savanah, as well as her great-grandchildren Jovie and Arthur.

Carol’s memory will live on in the hearts of her nieces and nephews Susan (John), Mike (Cathy), Don, Bob (Louise), and Deb (Chris), along with extended family and friends.
