WILLIAMS, Carol Marie (née McCormack)
Born Tuesday December 26, 1944. Passed away Monday December 22, 2025.
Our beautiful Mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday the 22nd of December. Our Mum was many things to many people, but to us she was OUR HOME. Mum loved in a quiet but powerful way, she showed up, listened and cared deeply. Some of our favourite memories are the small ways she smiled, laughed, gave advice and that cheeky wink, and made us feel safe. Those moments are gifts we will carry forever.
We will love and miss you forever.
Our beautiful Angel Mum.
Loved wife of Max (in heaven). Loved Mother and Mother-in-law of Leanne, David and Jo, Linda and Peter, Kay and Steve. Adored Grandmother of Tyson, Trent and Brandon; Michael, Brad, Craig and Casey; Brady, Sam and Jesse (in heaven); Maggie, Georgia and Dana. Loved Great grandmother of 14 great-grandchildren.

We were so saddened to hear of the passing of Carol, our lovely neighbour of many years. She graciously allowed us to use a portion of her back yard as our vegie patch. This was much appreciated.

My dear cousins.
Words cannot describe the shock of Auntie Carol’s passing. One of the most difficult phone calls I’ve ever had to receive. May you all find comfort and strength within each other as you navigate the difficult days ahead.
Knowing her as I did I know that she leaves you a shining example of how to get through this period of your lives.
She was, like your Dad Max, one of a kind. Much loved and will be dearly missed.January 02, 2026 7:48 pm

I was so sad to hear of my dear friend Carol’s passing we had a special friendship and enjoyed each other’s company talking race horses, children and grandchildren. Carol would tell of some of the times when Max was a horse trainer. Carol was special to a great deal of people transporting them to doctors appointments, nothing was ever a bother to her. Please accept my sincere condolences to her family whom were such a large part of her life. I will miss her very much. Fly high sweet lady Max will be waiting for you with his arms wide open to welcome you home.
Deepest sympathy to you all
