Obituary of Carol Anne Krejci

Carol passed away on Saturday, May 21, 2011 after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was born July 15, 1943 in Edmonton, where she lived with her parents until meeting Robert, her future husband and best friend. After they married, they lived in Edmonton, Lacombe and then, in 1966, settled in Stettler where they raised their 4 children. Carol was a very loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and was especially proud to be a great-grandmother to Liam who was born in December 2010. She greatly valued her family and many friends in the community. She had a zest for life and a wicked sense of humour. She enjoyed the many people she met through the Kinette Club, Weight Watchers and through her work with Home Care. Robert and Carol enjoyed traveling to many destinations over the years. Their favourite spot was Rincon de Guayabitos, Mexico where they made many friends. They also adopted a few local families in Mexico. It gave Carol great joy to provide the children with clothing and toys. The cabin at Buffalo Lake was also a place where they spent many summers as a family. Carol will be missed in so many ways by her family and friends. Our memories of Carol will never fade as she touched so many people with her generosity, great cooking and wonderful sense of humour. Carol is survived by her loving and devoted husband Robert, children Dean (Anne) Krejci, Janice (Ken) Strome, Greg Krejci and Kevin Krejci, grandchildren Scott (Jessica) Strome, Russell (Kaysi) Strome, Ashley Strome, Amanda Krejci and Cam Krejci and great-grandchild Liam Strome, brother in law Ward (Eileen) Krejci, sisters in law Islay Frank and Linda (Eric) Saari, numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and many very dear friends. Carol was predeceased by her parents Rudolph and Inez Boborosky, her brother Randy Boborosky, parents in-law Joseph and Violet Krejci, several brothers and sisters-in-law and Kevin’s life partner Richard.
