To the entire Critch family my deepest condolences on Carrie’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with Carrie many years ago at DOSS on Harvey Rd. She was so sweet and kind to us new social workers. Her empathy, kindness and genuine caring made such a positive significant difference to the many families she worked with.

My condolences to the Critch family on Carrie’s passing. I worked with her many years ago on Harvey Road. She was always pleasant and smiling..
Lloyd, Darrell, Paul and Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Carrie was a very kind lady who always had a smile and made everyone feel special. I hope the wonderful memories you have of her will help you through the difficult days ahead. God Bless.
Lloyd, Darrel, Paul and Family,
Far too soon was our response when we learned of Carrie’s passing. We speak often of the great old times we shared where she was the life of the party. As well, when looking back over the years and all the church activities here at St. Mary’s, she was always front and foremost and never took a back seat in anything planned, from a simple cup of tea to major Paddy’s Day or Valentine stage production. We’ve no doubt she continued to display that same energy at Good Samaritan. Our sincere condolences go out to you all and pray that God will strengthen you as you face the days ahead. With sincere Blessings.
I worked with Carrie for many years , she had a great big personality and a heart just as big. I know she will be missed by all who loved her.I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences to Carrie’s family. I knew Carrie when she worked at the airport and I know Father Darrell & family from travelling. My thoughts & prayers are with Carrie’s family as you celebrate her life. She was a lovely woman.
Sending my deepest condolences to all of Carris’s family. I worked with her on Harvey Rd and saw her just a few years ago at a birthday party where we had a grand chat . She was such a lovely lady who had a terrific sense of humor and was always smiling . She always loved to talk about her family.
Lloyd and Family.
So sorry to hear of Carries passing, we shared some memorable times together. As young soldiers at CFS St Johns, Carrie was looked upon as MUDDER. She was always good for a joke and never shied away from a great laugh. (I can hear it now). She loved her family and volunteered in other countries to help other families as much as she could. God bless and I know you all have some great stories. Rest in Peace Carrie.
Our Condolences to Carrie’s Family. We haven’t seen her for a long time but when our paths did cross we always had a little chat. She was such a nice person and always smiling. RIP Carrie!
Lloyd and family
Sending my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear wife Carrie. We had many a chat with Carrie at the Miller Center Day Clinic when I took my husband there. Carrie was a beautiful person, and I know she will be missed.
Lloyd, Paul, Darrell and families, – Arlene and I were saddened to hear of Carrie’s passing. I haven’t had contact for years but my memeories go to Tessier place when visiting with my family and Spencer street when I was a border. She was always very lively and happy and brought a presence to any room she entered. I remember her checking off her salmon list by the telephone depending on the fish you got that morning. Hold on to your fond memories and please accept our deepest condolences!
Lloyd, Paul, Darrell and families, my condolences on the passing of Carrie. Very sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear of Carrie’s passing. I do remember her from Social Services. Sincere condolences to the family
Lloyd, Paul . Darrell and families. So sad today to hear of Carrie’s passing. She was a dedicated colleague in the mid 80’s who later became a friend. Although not in contact often in the later years Carries was my right hand when I was a Child Welfare Worker on Harvey Road. I hired her as a Social services Homemaker to work with a family . She was compassionate , empathetic, and a very strong advocate for the needs of our families who struggled with parenting. Carrie was very energetic , always smiling and a bright light in their lives – going beyond the norm to help .
She loved her family and spoke often off your activities and especially loved to talk of your family trips to Guatemala -a place we know well as it is where our son- in-law is from .. I regret not getting to go to Bingo with her which was our last conversation couple of years ago. .
May she rest in peace and the family memories console you in the difficult days ahead.
My condolences to Carrie’s family. May she Rest In Peace.
Lloyd and Family,
So sorry to hear of Carries passing. Sending thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

To Paul , Lloyd and family
My heart felt condolences go out to you and your family. Carrie was a character . She and mother stayed in residence together and the stories I have been told over the years leave only a smile on ones face. I always said that LIoyd and Carrie were the perfect pair as they were so much alike. It’s funny how things come full circle taking into account when my mother met Carrie many years ago to present day. Who would have known at that time that in the years to come that our families would be linked together through the fishery and that my father and Lloyd would become good friends as well as myself and Paul. I cherish that friendship and I have nothing but the upmost respect for Lloyd.
She was a wonderful person and I wish you strength through her memory. My prayers and heartfelt condolences are with you.
Condolences to all the family.
Hang on to all the wonderful memories you have of her.
God bless you Carrie.

Darrell & family,
