Carrie Anne Ronald
October 17, 2022
1957 –2022
Following a courageous struggle, Carrie Anne Ronald found her rest on Monday, October 17, 2022. Beloved mother of Amie Ronald-Morgan (Chris Morgan), Shannon McGill (Aaron McGill), Lindsay Ronald (Marc Riopelle), and Allie Purcell (Lawrence Carney). Proud Nana to Donovan, Imogen, Alaya, Sonja, Leah, Ethan M., Ethan C., Jamison and Adelaide. Longtime partner of the late Dennis Ronald. Favourite big sister to Sue Davey (Ron), John ‘Mc’ McNeil (Roslin), Scott McNeil (Christina), and Carolyn Gloude. Eldest child of the late Ruth Clark and John McNeil. Recently predeceased by her loyal companion Bobby the Beagle.
Carrie was born on March 31, 1957 in Grimsby and moved to Brantford as a child before relocating to London in 1987. She excelled at sports and was a star ballplayer and umpire before focusing on a career in home health care. To say that Carrie was passionate about the Toronto Blue Jays is an understatement. Carrie loved hard and played harder. Her good will was a force to be reckoned with, and her many friends and acquaintances attest to the emotional support she provided. In her later years, she enjoyed nothing more than a glass of wine around the backyard fire pit with her kids and dog, and listening to the ballgame.
Carrie will be dearly missed by many friends, particularly her Lady Jays fan club and Wednesday night Survivor group. Carrie’s family extends sincere gratitude to Dr. Kirk Hamilton, Elsa Varghese RN, Dr. Richard Malthaner, Dr. Charlie Chu, Jennifer Bourque, Larissa de Bekker, caregivers Sharolyn, Vencotte, Jodie, and the staff at LRCP.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Monday, October 24, 2022 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Those wishing to make a donation in Carrie’s memory are asked to consider Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Centre.

I first meet Carrie when I went to London to train some staff on new procedures. She was immediately helpful & such a sense of humor. On one visit when I getting ready to leave, I asked her to call a cab for me & she said where ya going? I said home & she said, I'll drive you!!! I had to clarify I was going to the train station to go home. On our way to the station, she said she would have driven me home - to Windsor!!! & She would have too. We kept in touch over the years, but I never got to actually "see" her again (except video chats & that was fun). She was a wonderful person with a big, kind heart. She loved her family to the moon & beyond. Thank you for being my friend Carrie, I will miss our chats. To her family, May Carrie rest in peace among the angels & her memories sustain you & make you smile.
No more chats after 4 years is so difficult - The Lady Jay's & Survivor chats were a blessing during the pandemic - Carrie's comments were a highlight - loved her sense of humour!! Will miss her so much!! Someday hope to chat again!!
I can’t believe you’re gone, Carrie. Thank you for being a wonderful friend and mentor in my early days working at Paramed. I will forever cherish memories of your sincerity, humour, and genuine friendship. ♥️ My thoughts and prayers to the family in this time of great loss. 🤍
I will miss you dearly my friend. We shared a lot of great Ramoli nights with our late friend Ruth and our wonderful friend Lynn. Those Friday nights will live on in my memory and heart forever. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Our Nancy group will live on!
