At the Dr. John M. Gillis Memorial Lodge, the unexpected passing of Carolyn Louise Strickland (nee Sutton), age 87, of Murray River, loving wife of 64 years to Eugene Strickland, occurred on Thursday, April 18, 2024. Born in Brampton, ON, daughter of the late Harry and Kathleen (Gooderham) Sutton. Survived by daughter, Ruth (Rick) Moore; grandchildren, Benjamin, Matthew (Jasmin), Adam; great-grandchildren, Preston, Matthew; sister Helen Younder; sister-in-law Elva and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by son Philip and brother-in-law Barrie Strickland.

Carolyn was a country girl who loved P.E.I. and its nature. She loved bird watching. Chickadees and humming birds especially, and always made sure their feeders were full. She was a big fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, listening to music (Johnny Reid was her favorite), doing crossword jumbles, and gardening. Nature and wildlife was always near and dear to her heart.
Carolyn and Gene would go out on little excursions over the years finding new places to eat, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee. Life was always better when the two of them were together.


Resting at Ferguson Logan Montague Funeral Home with visiting on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 from 1 to 2 pm with a graveside service to follow in the Murray River Cemetery.  

Donations to a charity of choice would be appreciated.
