With Heavy hearts, we send our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Carolyn

On Thursday, July 13th, our dear friend and colleague, Carolyn Kinzie passed away peacefully with her beloved family at her side, after a courageous battle against cancer. Carolyn leaves behind her loving husband Gord of 35 years, daughter Jessica, son Ryan and his wife Sydney, and her ever-present dog Carley.

Carolyn worked at Ontario Shores for over 35 years, primarily in geriatrics. Her warmth and kind spirit were noticed by anyone who interacted with her. Carolyn was one of those very rare people who have something truly special about them. A kind of radiance that was present everywhere she went. It drew people to her, and she was adored by everyone, and it gave her the innate ability to easily connect with even the most difficult patients and quickly form a bond. Carolyn was an exemplary nurse whose empathy, compassion and skills made her an invaluable team member.

Carolyn was affectionately known as "our Martha" in reference to Martha Stewart, because of her love of cooking, baking, decorating and gardening. She often baked the most delicious treats and brought them in for her friends and co-workers. Whatever she was doing, whether it was nursing or one of her many hobbies, Carolyn always set the bar high and refused to settle for less. She will be deeply missed.
