Williams, Carol Anne

Carol Anne (Cartier) Williams (1938-2006) was a valued employee of the Watford Guide-Advocate for over 30 years, as reporter, photographer and editor. She was an enthusiastic supporter of several organizations, including Crime Stoppers, The Sunshine Foundation, Watford Rotary Club and Camp Trillium. Carol was a worthy recipient of the Watford Citizen of the Year Award and the prestigious Ray Connolly Award from the OSSTF/FEESO Provincial Office. The award recognizes annually a member of the media who has demonstrated support for public secondary education.

Carol was also recognized by all levels of government as a positive reporter of their protocols. Carol’s work recording the activities in Warwick Twp. is greatly appreciated by the Warwick Township History Committee in writing the history of the township. Carol loved Watford and Warwick and the outlying areas. Any cause that threatened the lifestyle of the people in her community, mom took up arms. Her weapon was her creative style and wit that she offered through words and pictures.

Carol and Merritt Williams were the proud parents of five daughters: Kim, Lyn, Jill, Ann and Jane.
