OBITUARY<br />
Carol Lynn Bart was born in Nokomis, SK to<br />
Albert and Lucy Bart on March 24, 1959. She<br />
grew up on the family farm outside of Nokomis<br />
and was the youngest of 3 children.<br />
After graduating from Nokomis School she<br />
moved to Saskatoon and attended Robertson<br />
Secretarial School training as a legal secretary.<br />
Her work life began with a downtown law firm,<br />
after which she took a position at Saskatchewan<br />
Land Titles. During her tenure there she took<br />
a leave of absence and joined Carnival Cruise<br />
Line, based out of Florida, as a casino dealer.<br />
Although this was a brief experience, she made<br />
lifelong friends with some of the people she<br />
encountered on the ship. She then returned to<br />
her position at Land Titles before moving across<br />
to the Provincial Courthouse as a court clerk.<br />
Here she made many friends and brought her<br />
humor into the office. She retired in 2015 after<br />
35 years of service as a provincial employee.<br />
Carol was an avid reader, and enjoyed a wide<br />
variety of activities, including puzzles, crossword,<br />
attending live theatre, watching a wide<br />
variety of sports-most notably golf, curling and<br />
baseball. She played many sports throughout<br />
her life, including curling, golf, soccer, and most<br />
recently pickleball. She also enjoyed going<br />
for walks and working out at home, taking art<br />
classes and doing crafty projects, and gardening.<br />
Carol was an avid gardener. She loved trying<br />
new plants and techniques in her garden and<br />
sharing tips with family and friends. Her yard<br />
was immaculate and she enjoyed spending time<br />
in her backyard enjoying the summer sun. A<br />
couple of years ago she befriended a wild rabbit<br />
who had been frequenting her yard. She lovingly<br />
named him Jack, started leaving water out for<br />
him, and fed him like a king.<br />
Carol was bitten by the travel bug. Throughout<br />
her working career she traveled to Mexico<br />
with her sister Laurie, Hawaii with her Mom<br />
and friend Delores, Florida with both her Mom<br />
Carol Lynn Bart<br />
March 1959 – <strong>May</strong> 2023<br />
and Dad, and the<br />
Caribbean and Las<br />
Vegas with friends.<br />
Upon her retirement,<br />
Carol “Got<br />
Busy Living” and<br />
became a frequent<br />
traveler with Sun<br />
Seekers World<br />
Travel creating new<br />
friendships and<br />
planning subsequent<br />
trips with the people she met and traveled<br />
often and to many different places across the<br />
globe, including China, France, Africa, Italy,<br />
Central Europe, Dubai and Ireland. While in<br />
Poland she visited her grandfather’s hometown.<br />
Miami in 2018 for a reunion with her Cruise<br />
Ship mates. London in 2019 to visit friends and<br />
tour the area. She traveled with her nephew,<br />
Cory to Boston to watch the Red Sox vs her New<br />
York Yankees and enjoy the rich history of the<br />
city. Another trip took her and her niece, Lisa<br />
to New York, again for a baseball game and to<br />
enjoy a few Broadway shows.<br />
Family meant the world to her. She would frequently<br />
come back home to Nokomis for family<br />
gatherings or host everyone in her home, and<br />
enjoyed playing cards and games, especially 31.<br />
Carol was fiercely independent and determined<br />
to continuously create her best life. She had a<br />
wonderful sense of humor and a quick wit.<br />
Carol passed away suddenly at home on <strong>May</strong><br />
1, 2023. She was predeceased by her parents<br />
Lucy and Albert, and sister Laurie Bart. She is<br />
survived by her brother Brian (Rita) Bart, nieces<br />
and nephew Haley (Jeremy) Brauner, Lisa<br />
Bart, and Cory Bart; great nieces and nephews<br />
