GILBERT, Carolyn Anne Gilbert (nee Sidsworth) - January 8, 1933 ~ September 4, 2024 (age 91)

Although our hearts are broken, we are content knowing that you are pain free now. You married your best friend, soul mate and companion of 75 years, your husband Bruce. Together you built 3 homes; Brooklin, Port Perry and Snug Harbour, adopted and raised from birth two children, her devoted daughter Sandra Doreen Stubbs of Lindsay and the Late Steven Bruce Gilbert (2005). You have predeceased parents; Gladys Long and Arthur Sidsworth.

You have left to cherish your memories sister Lorraine Jones, brothers Jack Sidsworth (Rita) and Ralph Sidsworth (Cathy). You have two amazing grandchildren who remember the years at the trailer as well as too many memories that we will cherish and keep close to our hearts forever, Robert Stubbs (Rebecca) of Vancouver and Lesley Stubbs (Daniel) of Toronto. You have predeceased grandchildren Amanda Stubbs (1985) and Devin Jansma (2024).

You travelled to Texas, Florida, The Caribbean, Spain, England and drove to the East and West Coast of Canada. You were a stay at home mom providing nurturing guidance and support to us growing up. We always had someone to welcome us home when school was over. Your baking was amazing, especially the butter tarts and pies. Your knitting and crocheted items won many awards at local fairs. You gathered the family together and loved to entertain. You took pride in your gardens and loved to read, especially history. You volunteered many years at Fairview Lodge in Whitby and knitted for preemies and women’s shelters. A piece of our life has been taken from us. We are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to love you and be loved by someone so special.
