Patricia Carol Joberty (nee Grigg) passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Grande Prairie Care Centre on Sunday, February 2, 2020, at the age of 78 years.

Carol was born in Moose Jaw, SK on February 17, 1941, the oldest of five children born to Allan and Roberta Grigg. Carol’s childhood was spent on the family farm in Archydal, SK. She moved to Grande Prairie, AB in 1959 and completed a year of secretarial studies at St. Joseph’s Business College. She married Marcel Joberty on July 2, 1960 and made Grande Prairie home where she raised her family of three daughters and resided until her passing. Carol’s greatest love was her family, followed very closely by pictures of her family. She loved flowers in her yard, playing cards (Peekee, Bridge, and Five Crowns), her weekly phone calls with family members, reading emails from family, and watching hockey, curling and figure skating. Playing cards with her weekly ladies’ bridge group was very important to Mom. Music played a special role in Carol’s life. She beautifully played the organ, piano and accordion by ear and had completed many years of piano lessons and conservatory exams. Carol loved to crochet and each of her daughters has a beautiful afghan and doilies to treasure. In Carol’s later years, watching the birds at the bird feeder on her deck brought her great pleasure.

Mom had a passion for genealogy and she created numerous albums of family history. As the hub of our family, mom was the “go to” person and Christmas was one of her favorite times of the year. She affectionately referred to our dad as “Popa” and she acknowledged all family events. Mom and Dad enjoyed travelling and, over the years, ventured on a few bus trips and cruises. Winters, for many years, were enjoyed in Parksville, BC with their Parksville friends. Grannie welcomed each of her grandchildren into the world with thoughtful, personalized gifts. She will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren for the ice cream pails of fabulous homemade chocolate chip cookies she brought to the annual family reunion at Pelican Point in Bashaw, AB.

Carol (known as PC to family and friends) leaves to mourn her passing her husband Marcel Joberty; three daughters: Shelley (David) Lorenz, Deb (Troy) Kindopp and Karen (Keith) Kjenner; eight grandchildren: Jason Lorenz, Lisa (Taylor) Mitchell, Kiara (Shane) Moshansky, Cody Otto, Shania (Mark) Goelema, Tawni Kjenner, Tasha Kjenner and Tiana Kindopp; two great-grandchildren: Hudson Goelema and Jessi Mitchell; two sisters: Sharon Grigg and Sandra Johnson; sisters in-law: Memorie Grigg and Joan Joberty; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Carol was predeceased by her parents Allan and Roberta Grigg; brothers: David Grigg and Robert Grigg; brother in-law Ray Joberty; and granddaughter Kristi Otto.

Let us embrace our positive memories of Carol and know that she is eternally resting in peace.

A Celebration of Life, will take place at a later date.
