I was in CDCI with Carolyn and more recently have met with her in the Cobourg reunion group occasionally. I have always admired her and enjoyed being with her on such occasions. I am very sorry she has passed and I send my deepest condolences to all her family and friends. We will miss her.
Our heartfelt condolences to the family. Though we had not seen Carolyn for some years, we remember her as a very warm and caring person.
A memorial donation will be made to Ruff Starts New Beginnings.
It’s so hard to say goodbye to someone so loved. Carolyn was so proud of her family, especially her grandchildren. As her PSW, she greeted me every visit with “I’m so glad to see you” sometimes followed by “I saw Katrina last at CJ’s”. Her stories of spending time with her childhood friends were always so full of laughs and happy memories for her. Katrina and I miss her so much and I know how much she will be missed by so many.

Our family has so many fond memories of your mom and our families together (cottage country, the city, holiday celebrations and more). There were so many fun times and “adventures” that make us smile. We will miss your mom and her warmth and friendship very much. Your family is in our thoughts during this sad time. With heartfelt sympathies and love, Eli & Bill, Jill, Rich, Ben & Alex, Maggie, Marc, Cameron, Emma & Kaitlyn xo
My condolences to Carolyn Dalgarno’s family and friends. When Carolyn passed last week, I certainly felt a strong sense of loss, as her family and many friends will have also experienced. But that sense of loss was also accompanied by some wonderful memories of the fun we had over all the years since my return to the ‘berg’. Carolyn was clever, wry, and very, very funny. She was called “D” by some of the members of our bridge club, to differentiate her from our “other Carolyn”. I will miss you, my friend. When Happy Hour arrives, (soon I hope), I will lift a glass of Mez in honour of our many years of friendship.
Andrea, Stephen, Susan and John We were saddened to learn of Carolyn’s passing. We shared many fond memories from grade school on. Sincerest condolences. Jack and Carol Cunningham

Dear Susan and Roger, I was saddened to see that Carolyn has passed away. It’s so difficult to lose those whom we love. You have my sincere condolences. I’m thinking of you both. Love, Judy

To Stephen, Andrea, Susan, John and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Carolyn’s passing. I have many happy memories of spending time together, as children, and then reconnecting over the years. It has been wonderful to meet in Cobourg for lunch on occasion in the past few years. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time! We will miss her very much! Sincerely, Judy Caswell
Carolyn, a source of everything, ( wonderful and naughty ) from the time I met her in grade 11, CDCI West, till as recently as a couple of weeks ago, in her fragile state, advising me on a decision I should make. “Susie, do it”. Carolyn, your incredible spirit, dry humour, no nonsense view of life and close friendship I continue to value, not to mention your warm, elegant hospitality, always greeting me upon my regular visits to Cobourg. Knowing you are not that 3 hour drive away, or more! I’ll continue to feel your presence. With much love, Susie
From high school shenanigans to old gals sharing a splash of wine now and then and all the bright spots of kids and family in between, you have been one of my very best friends, Carolyn, and I miss you so much already. So happy for all the lunch get togethers the past few years. To Stephen and Andrea, Susan and John, all the dear grandchildren of whom Carolyn was so proud and the rest of her family, Carl and I send our deepest sympathy with love.
Stephen, Andrea & family! My sincere condolences to you & your family! The past few years, many of our school friends have been having pot luck lunches & after Covid going out for lunch a couple of times a year! We have reminisced all the fun years & all the good times we enjoyed! I know Carolyn was so happy to see everyone & we all really enjoyed her company! I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit her at home with Susie & Patty a few weeks ago, as well my visit in hospital with her! I/we will really miss her! Eleanor Wilson
Dear Susan and family We both want to extend our condolences to you on the loss of your sister. I still remember our Henry St friendships as well as CDCI East good times. May the memories of Carolyn leave comfort in your heart. Sincerely Anne
Decades of memories come flooding back - from high school years, parties, trips to explore and find adventures, our return to our home town as senior citizens- and always teasing, laughing and rejoicing in our off-spring. My deepest condolences to her family, and my heartfelt thanks for your comfort to her these last few weeks. Ralph, my brother Harold, BIll Warren and others will be waiting for her - and they will be up to some mischief or other.
