Carol Gail Sarinn (nee Kuss), born June 6th, 1964,passed away on December 2nd, 2022, at the age of 58. She was surrounded by close family at the time of her passing. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, David, daughter Aleysha, sister Debra, and countless relatives and friends.

Carol made a working career, applying her extensive clerical skills, at various office positions across Edmonton. Her work within the temporary services field earned an established reputation for adaptability, quality and accuracy.

Carol always had a book with her, usually something from the historical romance genre. She also had an extensive collection of science fiction.

During the summer months she enjoyed camping, fishing, reading, and generally enjoying the beauty of the North Saskatchewan River, with her family.

The winter was filled with computer games, reading fan fiction (especially Vin Diesel), watching action movies, and enjoying her retirement years.

A wake will be held for Carol at a later date, likely in the late spring/early summer. Carol’s ashes will be interned at a family plot in the Evergreen Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made in Carol’s name to any non-religious charity that helps those less fortunate. Carol’s adult life was difficult, and such charities helped her family through the hardest of times.

The family would like to send a special thank you to the Mazenkowski Heart Institute’s ICU staff for making Carol’s last days as comfortable as possible.

Dad, words cannot express how much I miss you. I have many fond memories of our time together. I remember when we didn’t yet have a computer in the house, you would take me tobogganing to your office so we could play computer games together. I fondly remember rollerblading together, sometimes even in the rain, and watching thunderstorms in the garage with you while eating “grandma soup”. It is no wonder that I love the rain and storms. I am so thankful that I was able to spend your last days and moments with you. Thank you for always accepting me for who I am and pushing me to be the best version of myself. You taught me so many great lessons and I am forever grateful. Whenever I hear the Beatles or John Lennon songs, I will forever think of you. I love you.
– Terra

Dad, I miss you very much. I miss your smile and easy laughs, I miss your terrible jokes that always got a laugh out of the cashier or waiter. I miss what you were to this family. You were funny and brave and kind. You raised me to try my best even when I didn’t succeed. I’ll always remember our Thursday lunches where you would check up on me as a teen to make sure I was ok. I remember you teaching me to ride a bike and to rollerblade. I remember you taking me out into tropical rainstorms to splash in puddles and dance in the rain. Thank you for a wonderful childhood and for your love and support. I will always remember.
– Tanis

We will love you forever and we miss you.

Dawn, Terra, and Tanis
