April 16, 1946 — September 19, 2023

Carole Ann Stricker (nee Gieselman) of Kamloops BC passed away on September 19, 2023. Carole was born on April 16, 1946, in Chilliwack BC to Cecilia and Hubert Gieselman. She was the only sister among seven brothers. She is survived by her sons Randall (Manja) and Greg, her beloved grandchildren Max and Mimi and her brothers Robert, Lloyd, and Richard along with many loving cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and her Giesel Soul Sisters. She is predeceased by her parents and brothers Barry, Don, Gerry, and Brian Gieselman.

Carole was a bright light for everyone who knew her. Family and friends could always count on her for support, love, and delicious food. Carole was very dedicated to her faith and was an irreplaceable volunteer with the Society of St. Vincents de Paul and the St. John Vianney Parish. Carole worked at Royal Inland Hospital for many years in the imaging department, and in her later years, she loved to serve up Mexican food to multiple generations of Blazer fans at home games. Among her most treasured moments were visits to London UK to be with her grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed.

The family wishes to extend special thanks to the staff at the ICU in Royal Inland Hospital, as well as the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for their care.

A funeral service in memory of Carole will be held on Monday, September 25th, 2023, at 10:00 am at St. John Vianney Parish – 2826 Bank Road, Kamloops, BC. Donations in Carole’s memory may be made to the St. Vincent De Paul Society in Kamloops, or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Kamloops.
