Carol attended grade school at a little Cataldo school house and went on to attend high school at Kingston High. Her senior year she met the love of her life, Bruice Cannaday, and before graduation they were united in marriage on February 16, 1952, at her parent’s Cataldo homestead. Bruice and Carol had many adventures around the western United States before returning home to the Silver Valley to have and raise their three children.
Carol was a lifelong resident of Cataldo and an active historian of the area. She helped organize and attended the Cataldo Picnic for the community for years. She enjoyed seeing her lifelong friends for lunch each month at the “Kingston Kid Luncheon”. Carol also found time for gardening, camping, fishing, cake decorating, and was known to be a gifted artist and singer. She loved to watch birds, hunt for mushrooms and old bottles, and became an avid pinterest user in her later years.
Carol is survived by her three children, Alan Cannaday of Black Lake, Idaho, Tracy Cannaday of Kingston, Idaho and Idona Cannaday of Cataldo, Idaho; fourteen grandchildren and twenty six great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Carol was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bruice Cannaday; her parents, older sister, Ruby Belousek; and a baby brother and sister.
