Together, we celebrate a life of quiet determination, boundless love and strength beyond measure. A silent fighter, a gentle soul and a source of endless strength.

Obituary

Caron was a silent fighter - an irrepressible spirit who faced every circumstance with grace and quiet determination. At peace with her own fate, she still carried the weight of concern for others, always putting their needs ahead of her own. She fought life harder than anyone ever should, with a courage and resilience that no medal could ever truly measure. Even when she felt unwell, she never complained and her warmth drew admiration from everyone she met. To know Caron was to feel her imprint - a mark of kindness, love and unwavering strength that will remain forever in our hearts. She was a source of comfort and laughter and the benchmark of strength, love and life itself. Though the pain of her absence is immeasurable, there is comfort in knowing she is watching over us, free from struggle, her spirit soaring. Rest peacefully, sweet Caron. You will be loved, remembered and celebrated always!

I looked forward to our catch ups and advice from you. Ca you have been an integral part of my life and my career, I always told you that were my angel walking beside me. What I admired most about you was your strength ,humility and modesty . You held your family so dearly , Liam and Jacques were the reason you kept on fighting. I will miss you dearly my Ca . Thank you for all that you were to so many that love you ….J

I was so deeply saddened to hear of Carons passing. She was such a beautiful soul, always full of joy and never one to complain despite all she went through. I will always remember her smile and the happiness she carried with her. She was a true inspiration, and I feel grateful to have shared childhood memories with her. Please know my heart and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dearest Ca, it is so hard to believe and accept that you are no longer with us! I have so many wonderful memories of you from our office chats, dress ups, parties and laughs between Johannesburg and Cape Town. You always greeted everyone with a smile and no matter what kind of day you were having, you lit up the room. You taught me what a true fighter is and I am truly humbled by your courage. I will never forget your piercing blue eyes and beautiful smile. May your family and friends find comfort in knowing that you are no longer struggling. Fly high with the angels my sweet friend and rest easy. I will miss you, all my love Nicky Burn

Caron's presence was a quiet gift. She greeted everyone with a smile, a testament to her beautiful spirit even while facing her own battles. Her humility shone through in everything she did, always prioritizing the needs of others over her own. She was a constant source of help, her presence felt everywhere, yet she never sought the spotlight. It's clear she found immense joy in sharing Liam's adventures, a pure and selfless kind of happiness.
Caron's space is empty and is greatly missed.

Ah Caz! Where do I even start ?! A lifetime of memories have been flooding my thoughts since hearing the unbelievably sad news of your passing. Years & years of memories that will continue to keep coming up. How can they not, especially since I’ve known you my whole life. Growing up you were always the stern, big sister making sure we were out of harms way. Living next door to you all was the kind of childhood that many fondly remember of the 80s & 90s. From playing tennis in the street with tons of laughter, to you “supervising” our home “hair salon” when we decided to cut each other’s hair (the results were less than impressive for our parents). You were always looking out for Kirstin & I in everything we did, even after leaving school & well into my 20s. The little things you kept doing as we grew older were appreciated more than was said. Even taking the time to make me an outfit for my 21st party. You were always there casting a protective eye over us & always willing to help others in the blink of an eye. During the most difficult times you faced in your own life, you continued to maintain those rare qualities…. With the biggest smile. A smile that will never be forgotten & a contagious laugh that I can still hear. Thank you for being such a big part of my childhood & the many years after. You will be remembered always! May your beautiful soul now rest in peace xx Lots of Love, Kerin.

Dear Caron
We weren't super close at work, but your gentle presence and beautiful nature became part of my every day at the office. Whenever I looked up from my screen I could see you at your desk, and now that you're not there anymore it's become so apparent just how special you were in my every day even if we didn't always get to chat. Your smile lit up the room and I can still hear your voice. It's been a struggle to just carry on with life knowing that we've lost another beautiful soul. You made a lasting impression on all of us even if you didn't think you did and we miss you dearly. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. Love Emma

Dear Caron, words cannot describe how much I will miss you. We spent so many wonderful years together, through tough times, fun times and the good times. You were so trustworthy, honest and reliable. A wonderful person to have fighting by your side! Through thick and thin. You made our workplace that much better! You taught me resilience and strength. You taught me never to complain! To take it on the chin and push forward. I was so proud of how you managed your challenges, and always with a smile. Everyone who met you was touched by your spirit and your lovely nature. You will be so sorely Missed. But never ever forgotten. RIP Car. Sending you love XXX

I may not have known Cas that well, but always spoke to Jacques about her difficult journey when I could. An absolute warrior, a fighter until the bitter end. We send our sincere condolences to Jacques, family and close friends. Cas is now at peace 🙏🏻

My dearest Caz, what a journey it has been! A friendship stemming out of an action cricket arena and turning into something priceless and a bond so strong. You were an absolute warrior fighting your battle yet always projecting tenacity and a smile so bright that it was impossible to not smile back. Your lads loved you dearly as did I, more than I got the chance to tell you. Rest easy my friend, Moi and Kaiden
