It is with heavy hearts and great sadness, that we announce the passing of Caroline Constantin, peacefully with her family by her side, at Joseph Brant Hospital on Wednesday April 14th in her 91st year. She is finally reunited with the love of her life, Raymond Constantin, her husband of 65 years who predeceased her in 2016. Carol will be missed by her children, Suzanne Colasimone (Ray), Michelle Rutledge (Albert) and Robert (Laurie LeBreton). She will also be dearly missed by her six grandchildren, Jason, Angela, Robin, Julie, Nicole & Carly, and her five beautiful great grandchildren. Carol also leaves behind her sister Genevieve and brother Cleophas.
Carol, affectionately known as Mamma to many, resided at LaSalle Park Retirement for the past seven months where she enjoyed the company of the residents and the extraordinary staff that truly made her feel at home. To those who knew her, Mamma had a feisty personality and was extremely creative. Sewing was one of her greatest talents. Some of her favourite pastimes included doing crossword puzzles, reading James Patterson novels and watching her preferred game show “The Family Feud”. She also loved listening to music, especially her son Rob’s rendition of “Harvest Moon”. Neil Young would be proud. However, her absolute most cherished pastime was spending time with her family. She will be sorely missed by her children, grandchildren and lifetime friends Pierrette and Rita. We can hear our dad’s happy fiddle tune greeting his true love home.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to all staff at LaSalle and to Doctors and nurses of 4North at Joseph Brant Hospital who extended us such kindness and compassion in our Mothers’ final hours.
A private funeral mass will be held prior to her joining our Father at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations to Joseph Brant Hospital or the Carpenter Hospice would sincerely be appreciated by the family.
