Carol Ann Yvonne Bajkov

1958-2023

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Carol Ann Yvonne Bajkov who passed away peacefully on Friday March 10, 2023.

Carol was born on August 30th, 1958 in Calgary, Alberta. She grew up in Calgary, Penticton & Victoria with her brother John and her loving and adventurous parents Patricia & Paul Snickars. Carol met the love of her life, Phil Bajkov, while attending Mount Doug High School in Victoria, British Columbia. They were married on December 28th, 1977 at the young age of 19. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised two children, Laralee and Matthew in Prince George. Carol’s family was the center of her life, but she also had a deep love for her chosen families. She found joy and fulfillment in her Norman Lake community, the “Movement Fitness” Gym community, The Festival of Trees organization, her “Around & About” Family Daycare, and of course, her own family; Phil (Iris (late) & Alec), Matthew (Lisa), Lara (Kevin), Grandchildren; Claire, Mason, Jaden & Parker, brother John, Parents Pat & Paul, and all her extended family; Alan (Alena), Sandra (late), Joan (Gordon(late)), Ian (Christine), Andrew (Teri-Lynn) including all nieces and nephews. Her generous and loving nature made her a beloved member of each community, and her impact will be felt for years to come.

In her free time, Carol focused all her energy on her four grandchildren; they all adored their Nanna. Every holiday, weekend, and adventure was based around creating memories with them. She always showed up with a thoughtful craft or a plan in hand on making the day exciting. She will be deeply missed by all those she impacted; her smile, hugs, sense of humor and her devotion to helping others will be cherished memories of Carol that will never be forgotten.

A Celebration of Life to honor Carol’s life will be held on April 22, 2023 at The Columbus Community Centre (7201 St. Lawrence Ave. Prince George B.C.). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Spirit of the North Health Care Foundation.
