Carole Marion McDermott

August 29, 2026

It is with deep sadness that Carole’s family announce her passing on Saturday, August 29, 2026 after a courageous and long journey with breast cancer.

Carole was born in 1946 in Leeds, Great Britain. She was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Connie, brother Rick and husband Ken. She is lovingly remembered by her sons Curtis (Mandy) and Jeffery More, all of Regina, sister Shirley Kirkley (Al) of Fort Qu’Appelle, brother Randy Dahlman (Ingrid) of Calgary, sister in law Eleanor Dahlman, of Wolseley, grandson Teekin, niece Bianca and nephews Chris (Melanie), Michael and Fletcher (Erin).

Carole immigrated to Canada with her mother in the fall of 1946. Her father had previously returned to Canada after the end of WWII having served with the British Air Force. Carole grew up on a farm south of Wolseley and attended both elementary and high school in Wolseley. After attaining her Bachelor’s Degree in Education (Distinction), Carole was employed by the Regina Board of Education for 25 years, realizing her passion for teaching. She also taught as an exchange teacher in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Throughout her life Carole displayed a wonderful sense of humour, positivism, adventure and curiosity. She was a global traveller and loved to connect with people from many cultures and diverse backgrounds throughout the world. Carole was a fun, thoughtful and loyal mother, grandmother and friend. She spent many joyous and precious moments with her grandson Teekin.

Carole thanks her family and many friends for their prayers, visits, support and comfort. Her family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, Regina, Saskatchewan. As well, thank you to the SHA Palliative Care Unit, Regina.

Donations in Carole’s memory may be made to the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic (care and comfort unit), 4101 Dewdney Avenue, Regina. SK S4T 7T1.

A private memorial and graveside service will be held at a later date.

Messages of Condolence

Sue and I were fortunate enough to meet Carole on one of her many global adventures when we went on a tour of India and Nepal.Carole was such a positive, charismatic and enthusiastic traveller and so easy to get along with. We struck up a firm friendship on that holiday and have been very close friends for the past 17 years. We were very pleased to visit her on "home territory" in 2023 when she welcomed us to her lovely apartment in Fort Qu'Appelle, showing us the beauty of her Province and a neighbouring National Park.Every time we spoke to Carole it was clear that she cared deeply for others, and that family and friends meant everything to her. She was the most selfless person we've ever met.She faced her own health challenges with courage and determination but also a down to earth sense of reality, but we never heard her complain as she always saw the positives in every situation.We feel deeply honoured to have been her friend. She truly was a force of nature, one in a million and we will miss her terribly.We send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to her entire family at this very sad time.
- Mark and Sue Lawrance
