February 4, 1943 - October 19, 2007
On October 19, 2007, surrounded by the love of family and friends, Carole passed away after a very brief but courageous battle with cancer. Loved by many, she leaves to mourn her passing: son Todd Bilawchuk; grandchildren Taylor, AshLee and Alexis; Todd’s father, Chuck Bilawchuk; sisters Marg Viala (Paul) and Maureen Coulter (Tom); brothers Peter McMeekin, Bruce McMeekin (Gwen) and Robert McMeekin (Karen); nieces Erin Viala-Hicks (Daryl), Sandy Scherger (Stan), Dawn Coulter-Ford (Mike), Sabrina McMeekin-Topping (Shane), Angela McMeekin, Susan McMeekin and Sherrie Reimer (Calvin); nephews Sean Viala, Tom Coulter (Betty), James McMeekin (Annette) and Colin McMeekin; great-nieces and great-nephews Jade, Kyra, Simon, Rebecca, Taegan, Parker, Daniel, Jayce, Brittany, Elizabeth, Courtney, Justin and Tyler and her very special friends Helen Smith, Roxi Martinez, Clara Jonsson and Sandra Tulloch, plus a legion of friends and co-workers.

Carole was born on February 4, 1943 in Calgary, Alberta where her father was stationed with the Royal Canadian Airforce. The family later moved to Leslieville, where Carole completed her schooling before moving to Edmonton in 1961. Carole was known for her eclectic tastes, sense of fashion, fabulous cooking and gregarious, fun-loving personality. She loved music, art, theater, hula dancing, cooking, yoga, traveling, gardening, shopping, and spending time with her friends and family – especially her Toddy. Carole retired in August 2007 after 34 years as a social worker – a profession at which she excelled.
A celebration of Carole’s life will take place on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at Fellowship Baptist Church, 14323 – 107A Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta at 10:00 a.m., with viewing from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. A time of fellowship will follow in the church gymnasium with interment at the Leslieville Cemetery.
