February 9, 1938 – May 11, 2022

Rev. Jack Carr passed away of cancer on May 11, 2022 at St. Paul’s Hospital Palliative Care Unit. Jack was born Feb. 9, 1938, in Nipawin to Addie and Letha Carr of Whitefox. When Jack was ten years old, his family moved to Prince George, BC. After completion of grade 12, he entered the Union School of Theology in Vancouver, becoming ordained in 1968. His first posting was to Speers, SK, in the Maymont Larger Parish. While in Speers, he met and married Louise Cunningham in 1974. Jack and Louise transferred to Third Avenue United Church in North Battleford in 1973. There they enjoyed a thriving congregation until his final move to Mayfair United Church in Saskatoon in 1986. This move presented many challenges, including the building of a beautiful new church to replace the original church which was burned down by vandals. Jack and Louise took part in many activities at Mayfair, including choir and congregational gatherings. Jack’s quiet manner and efficient organizational skills made him popular on church committees. He and Louise enjoyed attending the symphony and live theatre, as well as world-wide travel. Jack was known for his calm demeanor and matter-of-fact manner, which always put people at ease, and made him a popular choice for both weddings and funerals. Jack is survived by his wife, Louise, sister Carol Jones, brothers Lewis (Jennette) and Bill, sister-in-law Eva Carr and Louise’s sister, Lorna, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and many close friends. He was predeceased by his parents, sisters Peggy Lidster, Joyce Carr, Anne Wiita and brother Bob. The Memorial Service will be held at Mayfair United Church, 902 – 33rd Street West, on Friday, May 20, 2022 at 2:00 pm. The service will be livestreamed-the logon link is https://www.youtube.com/c/MayfairUnitedChurch/live. The interment will take place this summer at New Ottawa Cemetery at Speers, SK.
