Peter, Paul, Matthew and Susie are saddened to share the news that Carol Elizabeth White passed away peacefully on 31st August 2024. She was an amazing wife, mother and grandmother to those she has left behind and will be sorely missed.
As you will all know, Carol loved to live life to the full and in recognition of her fun and caring nature we would be honoured if you could join us to celebrate her life and share in not only the memories we cherish of her but also the memories you hold for her.
The service will be held on Thursday 10th October at 12pm. St Richard’s Chapel, Surrey & Sussex Crematorium, Balcombe Road, RH10 3NQ. This will be followed by refreshments at Reigate Hill Golf Club, Gatton Bottom, RH2 0TU. We ask if you can confirm your attendance via the link below.
For those who are unable to attend in person, there will be a live stream to Carol’s service and this will be available until 16th October.
If you would like to live stream Carol's funeral service please click on the 'Wesley Media' link located on this page.
As this will be a celebration of Carol’s life, we ask that you dress accordingly and we would love to see a splash of colour.
We also request no flowers but donations can be made to Dementia First which is our chosen charity. Dementia First is a local charity that provides day care and respite for those suffering with dementia and Alzheimer’s and is somewhere that Carol visited regularly whilst she was still living at home.
Alternatively, there will be a QR code available on the day or you can send cash or cheques to Stoneman Funeral Service.
As a family, we look forward to seeing you there xx
Dear Peter, Paul, Mathew and Susie
My heart felt condolences to all of you and your extended families, my childhood memories of all the "good times" that Carol was central in creating, are set like concrete in my heart.
Unfortunately I cant be with you today, but I will be joining via the Webcast, and will certainly be shedding my own tears.
Love you all

Carol, or Auntie Carol as our family affectionately always knew her; was so much more than my best friend’s Mum; my Mum’s best friend; the Mother of my siblings’ best friends.
“Auntie” Carol stands out my life as someone uniquely special among everyone I’ve ever known; with so much time for people, so much generosity, empathy, and love to give. This all in a perfect combination that will always live with me and bring comfort; whenever in life’s busy noise, I stop to remember.
Dear Peter, Paul, Matthew and Susie,
I will be with you in spirit, even though I am unable to attend the celebration of Carol's life. My heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved Carol.

I have so many memories of my dear friend Carol, from youth club days, St Barnabus Church, pantomime, holidays, Brighton, isle of Wight, Spain in our single days.
Since then many meetings in Australia and England, with our respective families.
So much laughter and love.
Miss you so much my dearest best friend.
All my love

Hi Peter, Paul, Matthew and Susie
Thank you for sending us the link to the funeral arrangements for Carol. We’ve made a note in the calendar.
We have lots of happy memories of being with Carol. She was my ‘surrogate Australian’ mother when Ruth and Robert were babies. She always, happily offered to look after Ruth especially so I could have some much needed time. I hardly ever had to ask for her help, she was always there. Carol was always cheerful and funny, we had lots of laughs together including when Paul and Matthew came to tea one day and cried when I dished up fish pie. I have forever after been called the ‘fish pie lady’. Wonder if you have forgiven me.
Susie, you and Ruth were ‘frenemies’, very different personalities, even so you spent many happy times together when babies and toddlers. I was freaked out at first when Carol used to mix up your main meal with dessert and spoon it to you. It didn’t do you any harm and saved Carol a lot of food spooning time - a good idea.
We used to go for dinner at your place and I was amazed to see how organised Carol always was including having the table laid out with full silver service before mid-day - she declared mornings were the best time to get things done.
Peter I’m glad you both came out to see us shortly after Carol was diagnosed with Dementia. Wonderful that we could have time together in Melbourne and at the olives and Peter you could have some time out and some fun with us.
It’s been a tough decade for you all. Hopefully you still have some energy in you to get back on with life.
Do come and visit, you know you will always be welcome.
Love
Irene
