Carroll, Elizabeth “Ann” (Baker) – It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, a cherished wife, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend.
Elizabeth “Ann” (Baker) Carroll died peacefully on August 14, 2026 at the age of 69 surrounded by her family.
She leaves behind her husband of 51 years, Thomas; daughters, Shannon (Chuck) Karsten and Ashley (Paul) Anderson and her grandchildren, who were the light of her world, Kyle (Grace), Cameron, Bailey, Avery, and Mason; brothers, Ed (Janet), Robert (Janet), Allen (Nancy) and Stephen Baker and many cherished nieces and nephews.
Born in Halifax, she was a daughter of the late Allen and Elizabeth “Betty” (Taggart) Baker. She was predeceased by her parents-in-law, Lawrence and Charlotte (Kelly) Carroll and sister-in-law, Irene (Young) Baker.
Mom had a special way of making everyone around her feel loved welcome and cared for. Her greatest love was her family and she poured her heart into creating a home filled with traditions, laughter, and treasured memories.
A hairdresser for over 40 years, she had a salon in her own basement. This allowed her the wonderful privilege of building her career while still being at home with her family, a balance she cherished deeply over the years. Her customers became much more than clients, they became her friends.
Mom was always happy to lend a helping hand at Church events and became famous for her delicious coleslaw, homemade rolls, pinkie squares and fudge. She found joy in sewing, quilting and of course her favourite past time shopping.
Feeding people was her love language. If she wasn’t in the kitchen preparing something, she was shopping, always on the hunt for a sale on turkeys. Sunday night suppers were a cherished family tradition bringing everyone together each week to stay connected.
Mom loved sharing her kindness through baking, often preparing homemade treats for her grandchildren’s teachers during the holidays and at the end of each school year.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on Monday, September 7th, 2 p.m. in Jeddore United Baptist Church.
Our mom was a shining example of love and kindness. In honour of her memory, we ask that you show someone an act of kindness just as she would have.
