Carrie Wingfield
Carrie was born in Kemptville, ON on June 20, 1945, the middle daughter of Verdun and Margaret Crozier. She spent her childhood in the Village of Oxford Mills going to school, church, taking piano lessons, attending Rideau Hill United Church camp every summer, swimming in the river, raking the maple leaves in the fall, and playing with her older and younger sisters as well as many cousins and friends. She was a member of CGIT and the local 4-H Homemaking Club.

She was a member of CGIT and the local 4-H Homemaking Club.
She graduated high school in 1964 and entered the Ottawa Civic Hospital School of Nursing in September 1964 along with her sister Carol… one of two sets of sisters that year, graduating in June 1967. Each student was allowed four guests at graduation but since there was two of them, they were allowed twice the guests.
After graduating, Carrie moved west on the train with three friends in 1968 to Calgary and worked at the Calgary General Hospital in Pediatrics as she loved children.
Soon she met Doug. They married in Oxford Mills United Church on August 23, 1969 and have had a long happy marriage for 56 years. They travelled a lot in the early years of marriage including a trip to Africa and then had two daughters.
Carrie was a wonderful homemaker and continued nursing at a local clinic. Family life included summer camping trips in the mountains – she loved the mountains.
Left to mourn is her husband Doug; two daughters and their families: Sarah (Rob) Thompson and their daughter Allison; and Teresa (Darcy) Richardson and their sons, Clancy and Kelly; two sisters: Carol (Gary) Brown and their family - and Cheryl Page and her family; sister-in-law Barb Wallace and her family; and brother-in-law Robert and Yvonne Jacobs and their family. Also left to mourn are several nephews, a niece, cousins, extended family, and many friends including nursing friends near and far.
A Celebration of Carrie’s life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Monday, March 16, 2026 at 12:00 noon with Reverend Trevor Potter officiating. The Celebration will also be live-streamed and may be viewed through Carrie’s obituary on the Cornerstone website.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to St. Michael’s Health Centre Palliative Care Unit (covenanthealth.ca/donate) or a charity of your choice.

My condolences to Carrie’s family. She will be missed. I have many memories of Carrie and Carol during our training days at OCH. So sorry Carol of the loss of your sister- treasure the good memories. With sympathy and love, Sharron Amy ( Darling)
I guess it just takes time to accept deaths of our 67 classmates. Carrie was someone who should go on forever. I remember camping with Mrs. Crozier’s bucket of doughnuts, campfires, music and friends. I am thinking of you, Carol, and your family.
Carrie and I were close friends for many years. I was a single parent for many of those years, and she was both a very helpful sounding board, as well as a lovely friend to chat with about life in general over a cup of tea. We kept in touch by phone and email when I moved to Victoria in 2018 but of course, over the years, we gradually lessened the frequency down to birthdays and Christmas. Less frequent, yes, but still a warm connection that gladdened my heart. May she rest in peace.
My sincerest heartfelt condolences to Carrie’s family. Carrie had the kindest heart..she will be missed❤️🙏

Doug, Sarah, Teresa & Family, I am very sorry for your loss of Carrie. She was a treasured friend with a kind and caring heart and was loved by all who were lucky enough to know her. She will be deeply missed. May your wonderful memories of Carrie; your Mom and Grandma give you comfort and peace now and always. Sincerely, Terri & Doug Parker
