Born in Halifax, NS
Passed in Calgary, AB
Carla Marie Salsman

Carla Salsman passed away suddenly with her family by her side on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 at the age of 57.

Carla will be lovingly remembered by her children, Jessica Salsman, Mitchell Salsman, Brittany Pearl, Morgan Pearl and Natasha Pearl; her father, Carl (Ann Marie) Bezanson; and her siblings. She was predeceased by her mother, Marie Oliver; and her son, Nicholas.

Carla was born in Halifax, NS, and lived there most of her life. She moved to Alberta in 2014 to be closer to her family, but always missed the ocean air and good seafood. Carla enjoyed hiking, music, attending concerts and winning contests. She was known for her cooking, as it was her way of connecting with family and friends over a meal with a glass of wine. She was a confidant to many of her friends, was easy to talk to and an excellent listener.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Nova Scotia at a later date.

My sincere condolences to Carla's family. I am a long time friend of Carla's from back when we were teenagers in Nova Scotia. Carla, Alison, Patti and I were all inseparable throughout Jr. High school. We made many great memories down the valley with her cousins and at my parent's cottage. I saw her only once here in Calgary and I feel so sad about that. She is a beautiful soul and I miss her.

Jessica and Mitchell…I’ve known Carla and the family for a long time, since the kids were small…we were friends through the relationships we were in at the time, I am truly saddened by her passing. She was a wonderful person and friend ,although we’ve only kept in touch through social media over the years as our lives grew apart, she would always be in my thoughts and memories. Jessica you know how she loved her sponge toffee, I would get you to give it to her for me..lol! Actually Christmas past I had send her a picture of the choc covered sponge I had tried, she said it looked delish. She will be truly missed by all. Sending sincere condolences to all big hugs. Ann xoxo
