Mrs. Pauline Marie Carr (nee Sorensen) passed away peacefully on the morning of May 17, 2020 in Olds, Alberta. Pauline was born on June 23, 1930 in Hamilton Ontario, shortly following her parents', Paul Emil Sorensen and Katrina Sorensen (nee Jeppesen), immigration from Denmark to Canada.

Her family and friends are very proud of her professional and personal accomplishments.
