Carole Marion McDermott

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.
