Carolyn passed away on March 12, 2024 in Victoria, British Columbia at the age of 19.
She was born October 23, 2004 in Edmonton, Alberta to Susan and Mark Ledohowski, who moved with their family to Victoria in 2013.
Carolyn was smart, talented, quirky, funny and passionate about art, animation, fashion, literature, travel, food, games, gelato and chocolate. Her interests and hobbies were diverse and varied. She loved nature, museums, drawing, sculpting, baking, cooking, and most of all speaking with her friends. She was currently reading “Uzumaki” a horror manga series by Junji Ito, and “Police, Paramilitaries, Nationalists and Gangsters: The Processes of State Building in Korea” a PhD dissertation by Jonson Nathaniel Porteux.
In her life, she traveled to many countries and experienced many different places and cultures. Whether it was buying clothes in New York, or eating gelato in Venice, she was always keen to appreciate what the locale had to offer, and often scouted out the area on the internet ahead of time as she grew older, sometimes giving directions to a spot she had found during her research.
She was much beloved by her family, and was blessed to be surrounded by people with warmth, compassion and decency for much of her life.
She also had autism. Her last wishes were to help others struggling with autism. In lieu of flowers or other gestures, please make a donation in Carolyn’s honor to the Pacific Autism Family Network https://www.pacificautismfamily.com/donate
