Carole, who died earlier this year, is known in our archives under both her maiden name, Dale, and her married name, Couzens. Joining the Club in 1974 she was quickly involved in a range of backstage roles and then directed several productions and played in half-a-dozen main-house productions. More recently she was a regular supporter of the morning play-reading group.

Originally from a west Canadian backwoods’ township, she was a qualified accountant and financial adviser and served as highly regarded Financial Director to the Club from 2005 to 2008. Her husband Bill, a local Councillor for many years, is a supporter of our shows, and her daughter Sarah-Jean who played in Youth productions here, became a professional trapeze artist. Carole took her interest in drama seriously and would happily discuss it socially and in committee, and was a valued member of the Club.

We offer our sincere condolences to Bill and her friends and family.
