Carole Holland

HOLLAND, Carole Yvonne

Unexpectedly, on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at her residence in London, Carole Yvonne Holland passed away in her 83rd year. Beloved and devoted wife of the late Roger Holland.  Loving mother of Leanne Vander Heide (Dan); and of the late Steven Holland. Cherished grandmother of Heather Vander Heide (Pete), Theresa Vander Heide, Crystal Vander Heide, and James Holland. Proud and loving great-grandmother of Emily Vander Heide, Mason Vander Heide, and Curtis Vander Heide.

Carole deeply loved her family and friends and truly enjoyed the company of those around her. She shared a very special bond with her beloved dog, Bella, who was like a baby to her and always by her side. Carole’s warmth, kindness, and gentle presence left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

Carole was a proud florist and business owner, having owned and operated her own flower shop in Victoria, British Columbia, work she truly loved and took great pride in.

She was also a devoted member of the Oasis Group for many years, where she formed deep friendships and found a second family that meant a great deal to her.

The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to her cousin, Patsy Todd (Preston), who lovingly helped Carole with her appointments and held a special place in her life, having also been her flower girl at her wedding.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Roger Holland; her son, Steven Holland; her parents, Frederick and Yvonne Sharratt; and her brother, Brian Sharratt (Janet).

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Carole’s life will be held at a later date, with details to be announced.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in memory of Carole may be made to MS Canada or the Canadian Cancer Society.
