Carole McArthur Bindon passed away on November 7, 2015 after a 2 1/2 year battle with stage 4 lung cancer. She was born in Vancouver, Canada on April 16, 1944 to Robert and Elsie McArthur.  After graduation, she married Rod Bindon in December 1963 and they lived in numerous locations in the U.S. while Rod was serving in the Navy.  During this time, she met and interacted with numerous Admirals, Generals and State Department Ambassadors.

Carole enjoyed boating in the San Juans and Canadian Gulf Islands with her family, spoiling her 2 granddaughters, and traveling to sunny destinations like Hawaii and Palm Desert.  She became an avid golfer in her 50's and was proud to have earned two "holes in one" over the years.  She was instrumental in putting together our 50-year reunion in September 2013 by doing all the decorations, coordinating with the venue person and designing our commemorative gift to the reunion attendees.

Carole is survived by her husband Rod, daughters Julie Bindon and Angie Ballas, son-in-law Gary Ballas, cherished granddaughters Monica and Fiona, her sister Colleen Botelho, niece Amanda Botelho (Dan), and nephew Brad Botelho (Laura).  Her lively wit and spirit will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
