In Memory - Carla Maracle
It is with great sadness we share the passing of former Mohawk College faculty member, Carla Maracle on Wednesday, June 12, 2024.
Carla held a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from McMaster University, and a Master of Education from Niagara University. She was one of very few Indigenous women present in the post-secondary sector during the 80’s, and blazed a trail for many to follow.
Carla was a passionate professor at Mohawk College for over 25 years; she also taught part-time for McMaster University, Brock University, and Six Nations Polytechnic. During this time, she positively impacted countless students and loved her work.
She dedicated many hours of her life to volunteer for the future of palliative care on Six Nations. Her major goal was to help our community bring a hospice to the territory.
Carla’s family would like to thank the Six Nations Paramedics, Staff of Juravinski’s ICU, Six Nations Home and Community Care, and countless family members and friends that have supported them during this difficult time. No amount of time with Carla would have been enough for family and friends, though she gave them memories to last several lifetimes.
Condolences can be shared through the RHB Anderson Funeral Homes webpage. A funeral was held on Saturday, June 15, in Hagersville, ON.
