Obituary of Carol Isfan

   Carol Irene (Phillips) Isfan was born to Archie & Helen Phillips at Lipton, SK.  Carol grew up on the Phillips Family Farm just south of Lipton and graduated Lipton High School in 1958.  After high school she joined the Air Cadets and worked at the TB Clinic, Fort San until 1962.  She married Nick Isfan Dec. 28, 1962 at St. Nicholas Romanian Orthodox Church in Regina.  Nick and Carol lived in Regina.  Nick worked as an electrician and Carol as a hairdresser.  In 1966 they moved to Lipton. 

   At Lipton, Carol worked part-time at the Town Library and did hair dressing.  Nick owned his own electrical contracting business based out of Lipton.  They also owned/operated the car wash at Fort Qu'Appelle in the late 1980s.  Nick and Carol moved from Lipton to Nipawin in 1991.  Their only son Andy was born in Fort Qu'Appelle. 

   Carol was a caring and compassionate person dedicated to her family and the world is a less kind place as a result of her passing.  Carol, although only 4 ft 10 in tall - was feisty and tough as nails - the British way.  She was an incredible house manager (and strict).  Her house was immaculately clean at all times. 

Her son was her pride and joy from the moment he was born until the day she died.  She was an amazing cook.  Carol’s hobbies were curling, ball games, Rider football, senior hockey games, gardening, yard work and reading.  She shared a love of sun-tanning with her son.  The family enjoyed summer-time fire pit parties and laughter with friends/neighbors in their Lipton backyard and camping in Northern Saskatchewan.  Carol liked her beer warm as do the British.  She played ladies soft-ball and helped coach soft-ball in Lipton. Carol and Nick were busy travelling all over southern SK with their son’s hockey games during his school years.  They were blessed to have had many wonderful friends in Lipton and several in Nipawin and enjoyed multiple daily trips to the coffee shop. 

   Carol is survived by her brother Ron Phillips of Fort Qu'Appelle, her husband Nick Isfan of Nipawin and her son Andrew (Andy) Derek Isfan of Saskatoon.  Carol is pre-deceased by her sister Margaret and her brothers Jack and Bob.
