In Celebration of

Carol Anderson

February 15, 1936 -  October 13, 2023


Carol passed peacefully in her 87th trip around the sun. Carol was always supportive and giving of her time showing genuine concern for all she came in contact with. She was fond of the theatre, reading, painting and word puzzles, and enjoyed spending time with her friends and family, especially her seven grandchildren.

She grew up in Mimico with her loving parents, Frank and Helen Honan, and her three brothers; Greg (Irene RIP), Brian RIP (Helen) and John (Maureen). She leaves behind her devoted husband of 65 years, Jim and their children Laurie (John), Joseph (Elaine), Colleen (Steve), Peter, and Mary. She is predeceased by her sons-in-law; Bruce and Mark. She is now a guardian angel for her grandchildren; Maxwell, Jesse, Jordan, Troy, Jacob, Brett and Emily.

Carol spent most of her adult life in Mississauga where she was a devout Catholic and treated others to reflect that. Her love of family extended to her numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and she always gave of herself to make things easier for others. She donated to several charities on a consistent basis and was serious about acting like a servant of God.

Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Peel Chapel, 2180 Hurontario St. (Hwy. 10 N. of QEW) Mississauga, from 6-8 pm on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.

Funeral Mass 11am on Wednesday, October 18 at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 945 Flagship Dr., Mississauga.

Auntie Carol was always so kind and easy to talk to. I miss the visits we had when I was in Toronto. You are now with my dad, grandma and grandpa and all the rest who went before you. Rest in Peace. You are now free.

Aunt Carol was a wonderful person, I have many fond memories spending time with her and the Anderson clan at their home in Mississauga and their cottage in Bracebridge. I’m glad she is a peace and we are thinking of you all at this very difficult time.

At times, Carol was like a second mom to me and my brother when we were very young, often pitching in and helping to take care of us when our Mom was not well, despite the fact she had a houseful of her own wee ones to care for. She was so genuinely caring and nurturing. She was a best friend to my Mom, and I have wonderful memories of seeing the two of them sitting at each other’s kitchen tables over coffee while we kids played, and of course great memories of summertimes at the cottage. Carol was the epitome of a loving and caring mother, and a genuinely good person. She will most definitely be missed but will also be remembered with great fondness. Rest in peace lovely lady.
