Carolyn Lee MacDonald (née Willden), born January 8, 1955, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2025 in Salmon Arm, after a long and hard-fought health battle.
Carolyn was an active member of her church and communities in Pritchard and Chase over the past 35 years. She advocated for mental health awareness through fundraising events and was a shining example for others in the face of adversity. She will be remembered for her strength, kindness, and faith in God.
She is survived and lovingly remembered by her daughters Nicole Kneedy (née Sebastian) and Cassandra Ullian (née Willden), her sisters Shannon Poescheck and Sandy McKenzie, and her five grandchildren, who brought joy and laughter to her world (Grace Kneedy, Ian Kneedy, Ellie-Mae Ullian, Ava Ullian, and Emma Ullian). She is predeceased by her parents Joan and Rusty MacDonald.

Carolyn was a very nice lady. She would frequent our little flower shop to pick up carnations or just to say hello. Even after our shop closed we would run into each other now and then. We used to have a running joke between the two of us. She would always say don’t tell me it’s Sharon right and it would give us a laugh because my name is Susan. She had a great deal of courage. I’ll miss seeing her around
I was saddened to hear of Carolyn’s passing. She was a lovely person who always managed a smile despite the many difficulties she faced. My condolences to her family.
