After a brief battle with Ampullary Cancer, Carol passed away with her loving children by her side on April 1st, 2024 at the age of 70.

Carol was predeceased by her loving husband, Steve Prysiazniuk (2007), Mother, Alberta Finch (2016), Father, James Finch (1971), Brothers Jim (2006), Garth (2014) and Bill (2018). Carol has 1 surviving brother, Roy and 6 sisters, Darlene, Rhoda, Joy, Kathy, Adele and Jeanette together with their spouses, along with nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who have memories of time spent together and share a smile.
Carol was born June 8, 1953 and went to St. John’s College where she met her best friend Steve. They married in December 1973 and started a family. Together they became members of the 5 pin Bowling Association. They bowled in numerous bowling leagues at Dakota Bowling Lanes and coached YBC for many years winning the Provincial and National Championships on many occasions.
Carol worked at the Imperial Veteran’s Legion on St. Mary Avenue for 25+ years tending bar and serving veterans and members until the late 1990s. In 2003 Carol suffered a stroke and had many obstacles to over come and she did so with perseverance and determination. She lived a life of comfort and joy with her children and enjoyed chatting with friends and family via Facebook & FaceTime. Carol enjoyed a great debate and loved watching her court shows during the day and having coffee with friends in the social club at her place of residence. Carol also enjoyed tending to her flowers and vegetable garden. She had a big heart and always enjoyed helping those in need. Carol’s favourite time spent was with her kids of whom she was so proud.
As per Carol’s wishes, Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of life will take place following interment at Brookside Cemetery, Memorial Gardens on June 7th, 2024. Carol & Steve together again. Rest is heavenly peace Mom & Dad. If love could have saved you, you’d both still be here. We will cherish our memories forever…until we meet again, all our love.
A heartfelt thank you to the staff and caregivers of the Victoria Hospital and Jocelyn House for their immense care and support. We will forever be grateful for their compassion in our Mom’s final days.
