My Story

Carole was the only daughter of Elsie Hope and Eric Drescher.
She married Eric Goodwin on the 6 th March 1957 in Wilson's Lane Methodist Church. Carole was just 18 years old and an apprentice florist at the time and was married for nearly 50 years.
She had 3 daughters Denise, Lesley, Michelle and a son Andrew. ( 1 baby that did not survive named Paula ).
Carole worked as a florist, then shop assistant at Bryan Edwards and the Fruit Bowl, and even a spot welder at Blaco Simplex.
She suffered from bronchiectasis from a very early age but never complained. In May 2006 she was diagnosed with a fatal, inoperable brain tumour - glioblastoma multiforme. She survived for a just couple of months and then early one Saturday morning passed away quietly at home.
She was a lovely, wonderful, caring person. She loved her amateur dramtics and was well known for her sense of humour and comedy roles in the Dorians. Carole was a great seamstress and made so many beautiful costumes for stage and fancy dress. People would come for miles to hire or borrow costumes because my Mum was such fun , and would spend hours with people helping them find the right outfit. She would always make something new if there was something specific you needed and was always mending and altering clothes for friends and neighbours. She had so many friends.
When Carole passed away she left the biggest void - Eric never got over his loss.
They are now re-united. All that remains are the memories of a wonderul loving Wife, Mum, Nan, great Nan, and very , very best friend.
