CARROL M. LONGMUIR
(nee SEWELL)
1931 – 2013
“The
love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay.
Love isn’t love till you give it
away.”
On Friday,
August 23, 2013, peacefully after battling heart failure, Carrol Longmuir
passed away peacefully at home with her loving husband Neil.
Left to
forever cherish Carrol’s memory are her husband Neil; brother Wes Sewell and
his wife Gay; nephew Brian Sewell and his wife Val; niece Cathy Cox and her
husband Doug and their children Christina and Cassidy; niece Joanne Caines and
her children Gary, Taylor, Liam and Danica; and niece Carrol Macdonald and her
husband Jamie; as well she will be missed by her many friends. She was
predeceased by her parents Ellen and Bert Sewell.
For 27 years
Carrol worked as an operating room nurse at Deer Lodge Hospital, retiring in
1983. She was an avid sewer, knitter, did wonderful petit point work and
anything to do with crafts. Carrol loved to read and her cookbook collection is
legendary. Crossword puzzles were a source of many hours of enjoyment for her.
Carrol was the longest serving secretary of the Winnipeg PC User Group.
Carrol
idolized her husband Neil and showed deep compassion for her friends from work
and the community at large. Christmas Eve dinner at her home was an annual
tradition. Birthday and anniversary cards for her friends and family never
failed to arrive on time each year.
For many
years Carrol and Neil spent most weekends at Ingolf, Ontario. She loved the
cottage but was uncomfortable in the boat. However, wearing her life jacket,
she always put on a brave face.
On
Tuesday, September 3, 2013 Carrol’s Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 a.m.
in Sturgeon Creek United Church, 207 Thompson Drive.
We would
like to thank the Doctors and Nurses at both the Grace Hospital and St.
Boniface Hospital who helped Carrol during her stays in hospital.
Donations in
Carrol’s memory may be made to Daryl F. Kraft Endowment Fund, through
Department of Private Funding, 179 Continuing Education Complex, The University
of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2.
