Carolyn Cole
Over the years Cole was involved with Campaign Life Coalition, Show the Truth, LifeChain, the Windsor Essex Right to Life Association, Windsor’s Walk for Life, and the National March for Life in Ottawa. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she served as subscription manager for The Interim.
In 1991, she was among 19 arrested for praying outside the Morgentaler abortuary. The 19 were found guilty of obstructing a peace officer when they refused to disband. Cole was among the 17 that later received an absolute discharge.
Cole eventually moved to the Windsor area in southwestern Ontario. There she helped bring the 40 Days for Life vigil to the city and in 2013 co-founded with Sr. Linda Dube the Our Lady of Guadalupe Home for women facing crisis pregnancies.
In her eulogy, Sr. Dube said after her colleague discovered the brutality of abortion methods and extent of the slaughter, she realized “she must do something, no, everything she possibly could to stop this shameful assault on innocent human life.”
She is predeceased by her husband Arthur and is survived by five step-children, her siblings Jim, Jack, Craig, and Mary, and numerous nieces and nephews.
