Carole Chambers (10 Dec 1942 - 10 Aug 2025)
Funeral Director
In loving memory of Carole Chambers who sadly passed away on 10th August 2025
Carole was born in Bolsover, Chesterfield, to her loving parents Amy and Sydney. She grew up surrounded by her siblings—four brothers and one sister—and built a life rooted in love, resilience, and dedication to her family.
Carole later met the love of her life, Georgio, with whom she shared a deep bond and a beautiful family. Together, they had two sons and a daughter Rosina. As a devoted mother, Carole worked tirelessly to provide for her family. She began her working life in a sewing factory before running the local shop on her street—a role she cherished, especially with the help of her children by her side.
After the passing of her beloved husband, Carole moved to Nottingham, where Rosina soon joined her. There, she found joy in helping to raise her three grandsons—Lee, Jamie, and Adam—who became like her own children. Carole was proud to watch them grow, sharing in their lives with unconditional love. She would always take Jamie and Adam to Skegness for summer holidays, where they made fond memories that they still cherish to this day.
Carole continued to work hard, taking on roles as a retail assistant at Tesco in the Victoria Centre and later at the Co-op on The Chase in St Ann’s. She spent many happy years living on Hunger Hill Road, where she created lasting friendships and fond memories within her community.
When she eventually retired, Carole enjoyed life’s simple pleasures—watching darts and snooker, keeping up with her soaps, and listening to her favorite Motown classics and the Bee Gees. She also loved cooking, and you could always count on her to have a full Sunday roast ready by 12 o’clock sharp every Sunday (whether you were hungry or not!) — a memory sure to bring a smile to all who knew her.
Most mornings, you’d find Carole popping down to the local shop to pick up her fags and newspaper, before settling in with a crossword. These little routines brought her joy and reflected her down-to-earth, warm personality.
In later years, Carole faced the immense challenge of dementia, a battle she fought with the same strength and determination that had defined her entire life. With the loving care of her grandson Jamie, who devoted himself to ensuring she could remain at home, Carole was able to spend her final years surrounded by Jamie,Hakeem, Nicola, Hayley, Adam and the support of Jamie’s friends.She showed incredible courage, living with dementia for 16 years before peacefully gaining her angel wings. Carole is now reunited with her daughter Rosina who passed away last year. Jamie and Adam now have them both as their guardian angels
Carole will be remembered as a strong, independent, and sometimes stubborn woman, chain smoking, swearing F word. But above all, as a fighter, a mother, a grandmother, and a friend who gave her love freely and left a mark on all who knew her.
“Nanna” 💜
Soft as a whisper, a butterfly’s wing,
Love leaves behind the smallest things.
A kiss on the cheek, a smile, a touch,
Little reminders that meant so much.
Though you have flown where angels stay,
Your love surrounds us every day.
In every breeze, in morning light,
You’re with us still, both day and night.
So when we see a butterfly near,
We’ll know it’s your way of saying, “I’m here.”
A gentle kiss sent from above,
Forever wrapped in endless love. 🦋

So many memorable thoughts and funny times with Carol,that i’l always treasure,the times I drove Carol to Skegness to visit her lovely Aunt Grace who she was very fond of and having to sleep on her aunts floor,Carol would take the mickey out of me in my sleeping bag!
But she loved those trips!
She always had a special bond with Jaimie and Adam as much as she loved her grandkids she was close to them always cuddling them as kids with lots of kisses!!
I remember one Xmas Carol and Rosinna frantically driving around Toys are Us stores looking for the last One of the Telly Tubbies to complete Adams collection for Xmas !
Carol on xmas day would always go over to Rosinnas very early in the morning (as the boys were always up at the crack of dawn !) to watch them open there presents and have a cuppa with their mum,then she would go back home and prepare xmas dinner and obviously a special trifle!!
Well,I could go on and on, moments of carol and the family will just “pop” up in my mind and I will smile,that’s how she will live on with those special thoughts,and lots of smiles ! now she is reunited with Rosinna,that draws some comfort.
Like I always say to Jaimie and Adam It’s all your love and care and devotion that has kept carol carrying on through this horrible disease ,and she knew that,she will always remain with you ,and mine in our hearts.Never forgotten.

Nanna.. where the fuck do I begin, I try to memorise my real nanna before you took on this war! Because even through the illness that deteriorated you as a person you still made us laugh, smile and cherished you, how could we not! When all you gave us throughout this time is joy laughter and realisation that life can be so serious! Nanna man! You’ve shown me more than bravery and realisation that this life we live can change within us that how has it gone from you and mum raising us to now me and Jay are going into tomorrow with both of you gone!! Nanna shine on us that’s your family! Go smoke with mum and be free and I know you n mum are guiding us! I feel it! Love you nanna! More than you’ll ever know.. or you might because that’s what you can see from my pain and heartache 💙😘

Heaven has gained another angel touched and loved by all
Full of beauty and grace, sweet and kind
Let peace be up on you, in heaven you'll shine
You'll never be forgotten, that simply will not be
God saw you getting tired so he called you home to rest
Though tears of sadness fall, know he only calls the best
We'll let lay you're head to rest, and simply set you free
Your family and friends will miss you and shed many tears
Though will hold with them forever, memories made over the years
With great sadness we say good-bye and send to heaven all our love
Now with angel wings you've grown among the stars you'll shine above
Rest in peace beautiful
Love you Carol, God bless 💔🙏💫⚘️

My beautiful Nanna — My Queen
Rest peacefully now, my darling. You’ve finally found the peace you so deeply deserve, you’re free at last — free from the body that held you back for 16 long years, You fought every single day with a courage and strength that still amazes me and everyone that knew you.
My heart aches knowing you’re not in your room, not waiting for your next meal or drink, not greeting me with that smile I’ll never forget. I’m holding onto the comfort that you’re no longer in pain — you’re free, you’re whole again.
You raised me with love, guidance,shaping me into the person I am today. If I can carry even a piece of your strength, kindness, and determination, I know I can face whatever life throws my way.
I’ll miss you every single day. I’ll carry our memories, our talks, and those quiet moments in my heart for the rest of my life. And I know — deep down — that you’ll still be with me, just in a different way. Walking beside me, guiding me, and reminding me that love never truly leaves.
Go and be with Mum now. Be together, be free, and know that I love you millions, forever an always - Jay 💜💔🪽🌷
