McCARRISON, Roderick Dallas (Roddie), aged 92 years:
Please find the funeral arrangements for the late Mr Roderick McCarrison, known to most as Roddie, who passed away peacefully at home on 14 December 2025.
Roddie was born on 18th April 1933, the second-born child of his parents David and Jeanie McCarrison. He was raised in Newmains alongside his siblings: the late John, the late Dougal, the late David, Margaret, Sadie, and William.
He was educated at Allanton Primary School and Newmains for his secondary schooling before beginning work at the age of 14 in the Kingshill Pits. He later spent the majority of his working life with Costain Concrete.
Roddie found love with Elizabeth (Betty), née Thomson, whom he married on 15 July 1960. Together they lived in Motherwell, then Kimberly Street, Wishaw, before building their family home on Cambusnethan Street.
He was a loving father to Liz and David, a father-in-law to Allison, and a much-loved grandfather to Dario, Kyle, and David. Roddie was also a cherished brother-in-law, uncle, neighbour, and friend to many.
He was a familiar face and long-standing member at the Cambusnethan Club. He enjoyed cooking and holidays, particularly to Benidorm and Florida, and often made memories in these places with family and friends.
Betty, Liz, David, and the family extend their sincere thanks to all family and friends for the overwhelming love and support received.
Tuesday 23rd December 2025:
Roddie will depart from the family home at 9.10am, passing the Cambusnethan Club at 9.15am, en route to Thornlie Funeral Home for a celebration of life service at 9.30am. Following the service, there will be a short ceremony of committal at Cambusnethan Cemetery.
Thereafter, all family, friends, and neighbours are warmly invited to join the family at the Cambusnethan Club for refreshments and a further opportunity to celebrate Roddie’s life.
