Carolyn Louise Morris (nee Sproxton)

June 5, 2023 By Egan Funeral Home 134 Condolences

Morris Carolyn Webframe

It is with utter sorrow that we share the passing of Carolyn Louise Morris (nee Sproxton). Carolyn had battled cancer for the past 2 ½ years. Her journey came to an end on Saturday, June 3rd  2023, in Burghausen, Germany. Carolyn was surrounded by family and her best friend as she left us peacefully in her sleep.

Carolyn and her family had recently traveled to Germany to continue her valiant fight against cancer.  She embraced her journey, as she did her life, with an inspiring amount of courage, determination, and positivity.  Through all the challenges she faced, she continued to celebrate the joy in her everyday life. 

Carolyn will be greatly missed by her beloved husband of 24 years, Jim, two precious boys, Jack and Alex, her furbaby Hattie, parents Howard and Ingrid Sproxton and Cathy Booth, brother Paul (Sandra) Sproxton, sisters Carolynn Gaudet, Chrissy (Mike) King, grandmother Irene Elliot,  father and mother-in-law Gary and Sharon Morris, brother-in-law David (Jill) Morris, sisters-in-law Tammy Morris, and Suzie (Danny) Irwin, and her nieces and nephews Ryan, Derek, Miya, Charlotte, Jennifer, Morgan, Shelby and Jacob, along with many extended family members and friends.

Carolyn was born on June 19th, 1974 in Newmarket, Ontario. She grew up in Scarborough, Aurora and Orangeville.  She earned a Bachelor of Commerce, Honours Business Administration degree  from the University of Windsor, where she met her life partner and best friend, Jim.  They were married on June 26, 1999, at Hockley Valley Resort.  She began her professional career in Finance before deciding to focus on raising her boys and creating a wonderful life for her family.  In 2009, Carolyn achieved her Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto, and spent 15 years enriching the lives of many students as a high school business teacher, primarily at Humberview Secondary School where Jack and Alex attended and graduated.  

Carolyn was fiercely committed to her family, and together with Jim, created a life filled with love, laughter, and many cherished memories. She taught her boys to work hard, believe in themselves, always have fun, and see the good in everyone.

She cherished their time at the family cottage on Lake Manitouwabing.  This was truly Carolyn’s happy place.  She loved sitting on the dock, kayaking, working on cottage improvement projects, and playing board games with her family and friends. Many people would remember well Carolyn’s famous strawberry, whipped cream, waffle breakfasts.

Her true passion and gift was teaching. She was an incredible teacher who saw the best in every student and inspired them to believe in themselves and reach their unique potential.  Her impact on so many students was immeasurable.  During her years of teaching, she created and delivered lesson planning that allowed her students to not only grasp the material but created a passion for business curriculum. She often would be found by an amazed Jim in the den working until 2 or 3 am preparing lesson plans for her classes. 

Carolyn loved being active and enjoyed hiking, cycling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and kayaking. She was always up for an adventure and willing to try something new.  Carolyn was always championing a race or a challenge on the many long weekends with the Sproxton or Morris extended families. Over the years, Carolyn competed in several triathlons and a half-marathon with her friends and Jim. During her battle with cancer, she completed two Ride to Conquer Cancer rides. The Ride to Conquer Cancer covers 220 km over two days with the 2022 ride including a torrential rain storm that led many riders to call it a day. Carolyn gritted through extremely challenging conditions to complete her Ride.  She was never more proud of herself for persevering.  She was a long-time active member of the Palgrave tennis club with the rest of the Morris family. Carolyn competed on several Ladies Doubles leagues, traveling to play other clubs across Dufferin-Caledon as well as competing in numerous club tournaments.

Carolyn understood the value of community and what it means to place your roots somewhere and watch what grows.  She embodied community involvement and role modeling for younger generations. Not only did she belong to the Palgrave Tennis Club, she served on the executive for many years as Treasurer, Registrar, Vice President and ultimately President.  She also volunteered for Scouts Canada, Caledon Minor Hockey, and several school intermural sports teams including track and field and ping pong.  If a volunteer was needed, she was there with a positive and fun attitude.

Although her time here was too short, she felt extremely blessed with the richness of her life. In her final days she commented she had lived many full lives in the time she had.

Carolyn had a profound impact and gave many gifts to her family, friends and community and it feels impossible to capture her impact with words.  She was generous, brave, loving, and smart.  She lived life to the fullest and believed in choosing joy.

Through her battle with cancer, Carolyn and her family were supported by their many friends, extended family, and the Caledon community. After thanks to her primary care and cancer treatment team, a special thank you to her Caledon Crew (Michelle, Karen, Meredith, Jane, and Deana), Team Carolyn (Tracey, Sue, Karen, Aimee, and Robyn) her Golden Girls (Jasmine, Angie, and Caroline), Dave and Lisa and best friend and rock, Michelle, who stayed right by her side through the entire journey. They are forever grateful for the love and support provided by so many.

The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen St. S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) on Thursday, June 15, from 2- 4 and 6 – 8 o’clock and in Holy Family Roman Catholic Church, 60 Allan Drive, Bolton, for a non-catholic service,  on Friday, June 16, from 11 o’clock until time of memorial service at 12 noon officiated by Reverend Lisa Naumann from Mayfield United Church. 

Burial of cremated remains immediately following at Morningside Cemetery, Pine Avenue, Palgrave.  Reception to follow at Egan Funeral Home, Bolton.   

In her honour, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society directed donation to Cervical cancer research. Donation in memory – Donate today | Canadian Cancer Society

    Carolyn was the light in every room she walked into. She was my older cousin and to say that I admired her is an understatement. Her passion for her family and for especially Jim, Jack and Alex was incredible. I have often thought about the mother I wanted to be and Carolyn was who I wanted to be like. She was always present even while she sick and I will forever miss her. There are literally no words that can make this better but I know Carolyn knew how much we all loved her and how special she was.

It’s tough to lose our family members, but it becomes bearable (in time) even though they take a huge piece of our heart with them when they go!

    Very sorry to hear of Carolyn’s passing. Our thoughts are with Jim, Jack, Alex and the entire family. I had the pleasure of meeting Carolyn several times over the years. My favourite memory of Carolyn is having fun together on our bike ride last year. We shared a bunch of laughs, but also talked about her boys. She was a proud mother. My wife Jen has a fond memory of meeting Carolyn a few years ago at a dinner. We’ll remember a smiling and welcoming person. We hope the family is able to pull together through a difficult time. Hoping you can find peace. Our deepest condolences.

    Please accept my sincere condolences over Carolyn’s passing. Carolyn was a wonderful woman who loved her family so much, and was a true pleasure to be with. I feel so fortunate to have known her, and will always remember how welcoming Carolyn always was, whether for the after events of a Mud Hero or Ride to Conquer Cancer, at her summer barbecues, or even during work times. Carolyn was a light that made everyone’s day just a little bit brighter.

    Jim, Jack and Alex, I am thinking of you all during this difficult time. Carolyn’s love for you all will last forever, and I hope you can all find strength in memories you have of her.

    My deepest condolences to all. Carolyn was a second mother to me. She was always there for me through thick and thin, took care of me whenever I was at the house or cottage, and brought me so much happiness through the years I had the honour of knowing her. She has partly made me into the person I am today, and for that I will be forever grateful. I will miss her from the bottom of my heart and may her memory live on for years to come.

    What a beautiful and inspiring write up for a remarkable human being. I only met Carolyn a few times when I volunteered in track and field events. Like Cory Trepanier whose life was cut short by the scourge of mankind, cancer, Carolyn would have run to the end of the earth to beat it. Her life of kindness has left a legacy on those close to her and she will be deeply missed by our community.

    We are so truly very sorry to hear of the passing of Carolyn. I will forever remember her for being vibrant, friendly, and strong. Always supportive at Palgrave school for her boys, and all the athletic activities that the kids took part of. Registering our family for tennis, chatting with Carolyn at school events, hosting kids swim parties. She was an incredible mom and prioritized and adored her family. Carolyn leaves a positive and warming, lasting impression for anyone that had the opportunity to meet her.
    Our deepest condolences to the family during this most difficult time.

    We are so sad to hear of Carolyn’s passing. She was always ready to lend a hand,

    Jim, Jack, Alex and family,

    I am profoundly saddened to hear of Carolyn’s passing. She was an amazing and wonderful human being. I loved spending time with her no matter where it was, the hockey rink watching Alex play, driving to Lake Placid, hiking through the forest or on the field during Track & Field. She has left a huge impression on Jordyn (and all of us) as a kind and caring human being who went above and beyond being a teacher, coach and most of all a friend to her students and everyone around her. She will be greatly missed and my heart is with you and your family.

    Please accept my deepest condolenses. I had the privilege to teach with Carolyn and watch her spark, passion and compassion – as she led her life, spoke about her family and interacted with students and staff alike. I was fortunate to work closely with her on our school’s Terry Fox Run which she led after her initial diagnosis. She was an inspiring leader, with a go-getter attitude and an energetic and positive presence. She was the first person to check in if you were having a difficult time and she will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

    I guess in the end that is really her legacy, her love for her family. Take care of each other and cherish the memories of all the times you were together.
