Hardman, Carol Evelyn
Carol Evelyn Hardman
Carol Evelyn Hardman (Buckton) passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family in her home in Carrot River on April 24th, 2007 after a courageous six year battle with breast cancer. She fought her disease with a smile on her face, and was always able to keep her sense of humour and bring joy to the people around her. She basked in the love of her husband, children, grandchildren and extended family. Carol was born on April 9th, 1947 in Melfort to proud parents Ernie and Evelyn Buckton.
Spending her growing up years in various Saskatchewan communities, Southey was where she finished her schooling. Growing up learning to take responsibility for both herself and others at an early age, she was a hard worker who never knew the meaning of the word quit and spent her life looking after and worrying about others. In 1993, Carol married her soul mate and best friend, Bryan Hardman. They had 14 wonderful years full of love, respect, and friendship with him being her rock right up to the end. Together they made her dream of owning a restaurant of her own a reality in 1995 when they bought the Carrot River Motel which they kept until Carol’s illness made it too difficult to run a business. In 2005 they took in a foster baby, giving him a wonderful start in life with the same firm foundation of love they showed their own children. He was the joy of their life and brought them even closer to each other by giving them the chance to be parents together. Carol was predeceased by her father Ernie Buckton, mother-in-law Gladys Hardman, step granddaughter Charesa McIlvenna, brother-in-law Michael Nesvold, and nephew Josh Wald. She leaves to mourn her beloved husband BryanHardman; children Denise (Roy) Bokinac of Carrot River, Dwayne (Monique) Yuke of Moose Jaw; foster son Melvin ; mother Evelyn Buckton of Moose Jaw; step children Kerri Hardman, Tammy (Jason) Weiler, Jeff (Becky) Hardman; Cathy (Greg) Biden 15 grandchildren and one great grandson and two great granddaughters; siblings Linda (Laverne) Foley, Wendy (Terry) McFarlane, Erna Coney, Bill (Connie) Buckton, Kevin Buckton, Michele Buckton; numerous nieces and nephews; brother-in-laws Eric (Glenna) Hardman, Wayne (Michele) Hardman, and Scott Hardman.
