<div itemprop="description"><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Carol Anne Spence (nee Beatty) - Carol died peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on April 28, 2016 surrounded by her family. Her indomitable spirit stayed with her to the end. Carol will be dearly missed by her husband Bishop Ralph Spence, and children Sarah Spence (Dr. Chris Garside), Anne Spence (Chris Stocki) and Christopher Spence (Hilary Spence) and grandchildren Eleanor Garside, Ashley and Lauren Spence. She was a loving sister to Dr. David Beatty (Dr. Barbara Beatty), and aunt to Simon Beatty (Ashley), Stephen (Rachel), and Philip (Tara). Carol has sung in choirs since she was six years old. She was a gifted soprano and achieved an A.R.T.C. from the Royal Conservatory of Music. She sang in many choirs including Bishop Strachan School, Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, and most recently Christ's Church Cathedral choir. She was also the third generation of women in her family to graduate from the University of Toronto. Carol was an exceptionally gifted primary teacher and over her forty year career worked in schools in Toronto, Guelph, Oakville and Hamilton. Carol was also an avid gardener and member of the Royal Botanical Gardens. Most importantly she was a partner to her husband in serving the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Niagara for almost 50 years. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></div>
