Carrie (Baldwin) Kea
March 12, 1940 – October 25, 2024
Carrie Kea passed away peacefully on Friday, October 25, 2024, at Pleasant Meadow Manor in Norwood at the age of 84. She was the beloved wife of the late Gordon John Kea and will be lovingly remembered by her children Joe (Elaine), Kevin (Brooke), and Karen Kelly (Ryan). Predeceased by her son David, Carrie was a cherished “Oma” to Becka, Sarah, Casey, Chris, Brodie, Justin, Mac, Lauren, and Gage, and “Great Oma” to Chase, Logan, Skylar, Adelynn, and Kohlson.
Born and raised in Louisburg, Nova Scotia, Carrie had a deep love for east coast traditions, especially kitchen parties, step dancing, and fiddle music. After she and Gord purchased the family dairy farm in 1967, Carrie devoted herself to raising their children and managing the homestead, famously preparing three meals a day for 35 years. The warmth of the sun and beach eventually drew Carrie and Gord to move to Wasaga Beach, where she enjoyed curling, country music, and cheering for contestants on *The Voice* and *American Idol*. She especially delighted in spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
