Carla D. Petley

The family of Carla Dawn Petley 67, is deeply saddened by her passing on March 4, 2022 in Riverbank NB, surrounded by her wonderful family and a room full of love. Carla had waged a valiant struggle with cancer and died peacefully with dignity, grace and calmness in her mind.

Carla was born July 21, 1954 in Bath, NB and was the daughter of Jacqueline (Ebbett) Petley and the late Thomas Petley. She was also predeceased by her brother, Duane.

Carla received a BA in Economics from St. Thomas University, attained a Civil Engineering Technologist certificate at NBCC in Moncton, Architectural Studies. She spent 31 years in Edmonton, AB and had exceptional careers with Public Works Canada, Canada Post and the favorite one was closing out as an Asset Manager for 11 years with the RCMP, "K' Division, Edmonton, AB.

After significant success early in life, she found joy and immense pleasure at work. Her accomplishment here was a 5 + year project and came away with the unprecedented, first ever (and only) RCMP Detachment owned and built by First Nations people on their land in Hobbema, AB.

Carla travelled extensively in all her jobs and made hundreds of friends wherever she went, with her work ethic, compassion and big friendly heart. Her greatest joy was travelling to Canada's Northern Communities and absorbing the culture of the Inuit people. Carla was known as The Storyteller, and her home was filled with numerous art works, carvings, etc. Everyone had a story, which she loved to share with all. The experiences she had with all First Nation peoples gave her immense joy, and there is no doubt that she shared all of her love and caring selflessly.

Carla loved her nieces, nephews and their children, and spent hours visiting and sharing her endless stories with a memory unmatched in fact, detail and accuracy. She will be fondly remembered by her loving husband of 39 years, Syl Amos; 5 siblings, Dolores Petley (Daniel Gill), Caroline DeMerchant (Terry), Noriene Caldwell, Janice Corey (Ross) and Daniel Petley (Sheila) as well as several nieces, nephews and extended family.

Special thanks to Dr. Clay Marco and the entire staff at the Upper River Valley Hospital - you were terrific.

Respecting Carla's wishes there will be no visitation or service. A Celebration of this Fantastic Life will be held at a later date. Donations in Carla's memory made to DunRoamin' Stray and Rescue would be appreciated. L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors are entrusted with the arrangements. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca(506) 392-1115
