McKay, Carol Lyn (nee Cleeve)

It is with great sadness we announce after a brief illness, Carol passed peacefully, surrounded by family and friends on February 14, 2018. Carol will be remembered by her husband of 54 years, Bob, their children Dean (Shannon) and Bobbi-Lynn, her sister Gail Cleeve, sister-in-laws Carole (Gary) Baker, Diane McKay, numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends.
In 1972 Bob and Carol moved their family to the Calgary Stampede Ranch at Hanna, where Bob was Ranch Manager. Here they raised their family and turned the ranch into a beautiful oasis over 29 years. In 2001, they retired to the Standard area.
Carol’s passions were music, flowers and horses. She spent countless hours sharing her passions with students, friends and communities. She taught equine and piano lessons. She volunteered as a pianist for numerous choirs and created the Homestead School music program as well as co-directed the Standard School music program with Barb Gregory. She spearheaded the Village of Standard Beautification Program where her love of flowers was shared with everyone.
A Celebration of Life was held at the Standard Community Hall. If you so desire, donations can be made in her memory to Rosebud School of the Arts c/o “Masterworks Choir” or the Village of Standard c/o “Standard Beautification.”
