On June 9, 1961, Carole married the love of her life Les Colwill in Shelby, Montana. A year and a half later, along came Diane, and two years later Brian. Carole worked at 1090 CHEC Radio until Brian’s birth in 1964, took some time away and returned when Brian started school. After a brief time with CJOC Radio she returned to 1090 CHEC Radio and was the copy editor of the advertising department until her retirement in 1997. She loved her job and all of her wonderful co-workers.
Carole’s love in life was her family and friends and she always put them before herself. Everyone that knew her loved her.
Gardening, basketball, golf, and volunteering were some of her life enjoyments as well as baking and cooking for all of the family. Christmas was very special for the Colwill family. We will miss her infectious smile and unconditional love.
Carole is survived by her loving husband Les; her children Diane Colwill, Brian (Sherry) Colwill; granddaughters Zena Danielle Colwill, Sydney (Kelsey) Teneycke and great granddaughter Peyton Teneycke.
Carole was predeceased by her father and mother, Nicholas and Zena Ponech; brother Garry Ponech and sister-in-law Karen Ponech
As per Carole’s wishes, a private service will be held.
