Carr said Helena, his wife of 50 years, was the “light of my life”.
Former NSW premier and foreign minister Bob Carr has announced the death of his wife Helena after a brain aneurysm, describing her as the light of his life whose support underpinned his political career.
“Her little heart continues to beat but her brain has haemorrhaged with a massive amount of blood,” the statement said. “It is inconceivable I could have won office for my party and held the premiership for over 10 years without the steadiness of her companionship, her sense of fun and her lambent eyes.”
Carr said he first met Helena on a trip back from the US during a stopover in Tahiti in early 1971 and said was an accomplished businesswoman.
