The obituary notice of Carol GARBUTT

So sorry to hear about your mam Garbs,lost my Dad 17th Jan 2020,we don't know what pain is nor real loss till it's our turn to really feel it,Carol and Barry were always very welcoming and kind to me,and I was always aware of how close they were to their kids and each other, be big be strong,be the man she made you,and you will slowly deal with this, luv u brother, all my love always,Steve,Lesley, Sean and Steph xxx

Just heard today from Barrie about Carol. We were neighbours for 33 years but downsized 5 years ago. We would occasionally see Carol and Barrie out shopping and have a catchup. Such a shock as we had no idea Carol was ill and sad that we were not at the funeral. All our best wishes go to Barrie, Richard and Susan as it is very difficult to lose a parent and partner. Carol always came across as a vivacious lady who enjoyed life and will be sorely missed.

All 3 of my sons were in Carols class and she even came to see one of them, Steven,when he was in hospital, she was a lovely lady and a fantastic teacher. A woman who was beautiful inside and out Bless her always

Dear Mrs Garbutt you were the most amazing reception teacher ever. Even though it was 44 years ago I still remember you like it was yesterday. You cared so much about your pupils my mam told me you even came to visit me in hospital when I was recovering from surgery as a child.
Thank you to you and all the other brilliant teachers who taught and inspired me and led me to being the man that I am today. God bless you, rest in peace and may your family find peace and comfort in their memories.
