CARLYE LYNNETTE ELIZABETH ROSS

We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of Carlye Ross on November 21st. She is survived by her cherished children, Dylan and Emily, her stepdaughter Jessie, and her loving mother, Veronica Picard. Carlye was predeceased by her father, David Ross, and her stepdaughter, Catherine.

Carlye had many part-time jobs as a young woman and truly enjoyed working in the food industry. However, her greatest fulfillment came from being a stay-at-home mom, a role she embraced with all her heart. When she was not working, she devoted her time to her children, helping with school field trips, organizing paper mache days, and serving as the beloved “milk mom” for several years. Although she attended college for a year of accounting, Carlye quickly realized that an office job was not for her, leading her back to her passion for the food industry.

In addition to her love for her children, Carlye had a big heart for animals. She rescued a dog named Cassie, who faced many challenges, and through her love and dedication, Carlye transformed Cassie into a beautiful and integral part of her family.

Carlye was a vibrant young lady with a zest for life. She loved spending time at the beach or wandering through parks filled with trees alongside her family, creating cherished memories. Her sense of humor, creativity, kindness, gentleness, and strength were evident in everything she did. Carlye had a passion for shiny things, particularly jewelry, and had a remarkable talent for crafting beautiful, shiny creations.

Like a sparrow in a hurricane trying to find her way, Carlye fought tirelessly but ultimately lost her battle. She was deeply loved and will leave an enormous void in the lives of all who knew her.

In honor of Carlye, we emphasize the importance of kindness to those struggling with addiction. A Celebration of Life will be held on May 31st from 1 to 4 PM at 356 Linwood Street. A special thanks to Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel for their care and support.
