Carolyn Nahmabin Death – We regret to notify you of the passing of Carolyn Joyce Nahmabin. Our thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family during this trying time. This past December, Carolyn received her 40-year service award from Aamjiwnaang First Nation. At the age of 70, he passed away at Bluewater Health in Sarnia on Thursday, March 28, 2024, without experiencing any agony or suffering. Lorne Shaw loved his friendship with Carolyn.beloved mother of Dana, Jordan, and Kaylie; great-grandmother of Oakley; great-great-grandmother by marriage; grandma of Terrence Lee Nahmabin and Tiarra Leigh Nahmabin.
She will be sorely missed by all of her family members, including her cousins, nieces, nephews, brother and sister-in-laws, and friends. Her son Terrence Lee Nahmabin Jr., her brother Robert, her parents Grant and Eleanor James, Brenda, Shirley, Frank, Ronald, Larry, Ervin, Frank, and Heather all died before her. Carolyn was employed by the Aamjiwnaang for almost forty years as an administrator. She worked extremely hard and helped others on a regular basis. Her infectious laugh, beautiful smile, and gentle disposition will live on in the memories of all who knew her. Her favorite things to do were senior bingo, Tuesday night TV bingo, and group meals with her elders. She loved secondhand stores as well.
Family and friends are welcome to pay their respects at the Maawn Doosh Gumig, 1972 Virgil Avenue, Sarnia, on Wednesday, April 3. The hours of the visitation are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a funeral service starting at 2:00 p.m. situated at the Aamjiwnaang Cemetery. You can write a remark in “Carolyn’s Guestbook” on the mccormackfuneralhomesarnia.com website at any time to offer the family your condolences. We kindly request that you contribute to the Aamjiwnaang Cookbook. She was our membership clerk and a wealth of information for Aamjiwnaang members due to her deep understanding of each band member and their family history. Carolyn has always been a staple at the Band Office, so her absence will be deeply felt.
