Mr. Earl Leroy Carr passed away, with his family by his side, on Friday, July 22, 2022 at the age of 89
years. Earl was born in Innisfail, Alberta on Friday, February 10, 1933, to Roy and Bertha Carr. Earl’s
childhood was spent on the farm with his older brothers, Gerry and Jack. He attended the Gramston
School, until completing Grade 9. Upon completion of his schooling, Earl took his first job off the farm
driving Cats for the County. From there, Earl went on to work at many other occupations, until marrying
Karen. At this time, Earl settled back to the farm full time. He and Jack, along with his two nephews,
Lorne and Kevin, worked hard to expand the farm that his father Roy had established. Earl and Karen
raised their two daughters, Susan and Michelle on the farm. Earl’s proudest moment was when Carr
Farms received the Innisfail and District Chamber of Commerce “Farm Family of the Year” Award in
2006. Earl reluctantly took a step back from farming at the age of 87 years. Earl will be lovingly
remembered by his wife of fifty-nine years, Karen, his daughters, Susan (Troy) and Michelle (Randy),
his grandchildren, Katelyn (Dylan), Danielle (Ky), Lane (Ashton), Cole, Shay (Shane), Milaney and
Joshua, and his six great grandchildren, Emerson, Deelia, Westin, Payson, Hank and Harvey. He will
also be sadly missed by his nephews, Lorne (Helen, Samantha, Savannah), Kevin (Tracy), Jacalyn (Rod) and
son, Greg (Heather and family). Earl was predeceased by his parents, Roy and Bertha, a daughter, Diane
and his two brothers, Jack and Gerry. A Funeral Service will be held at the Innisfail Alliance Church,
