Helena Carr (born Anne Helena John ; September 1946 – 25 October 2023) was an Australian businesswoman and the wife of former premier of New South Wales , former senator and former foreign minister Bob Carr .
Early life
[ edit ]
Anne Helena John was born in Perak , Malaysia,[1] the youngest of six children of an Indian father and a Chinese mother.[2] In 1965, she came to Sydney to study at Our Lady of Mercy College, Parramatta .[3] As economics was one of her strongest subjects, she majored in it at the University of Sydney where she was a resident at Sancta Sophia College .[4]
Carr joined Leigh Mardon, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Amatil , in 1976, first as a market research officer and then as a product manager. She left in 1981 to join Amatil before returning to Leigh Mardon, as a business development manager and then a division manager,[5] where she was responsible for a staff of 1,000.[3]
Marriage and politics
[ edit ]
In 1972, she met Bob Carr on a vacation in Tahiti and the two were married on 24 February 1973.[6]
Bob Carr became federal president of Young Labor shortly after. Helena Carr started a successful business career and by the 1980s, she was the managing director of Leigh Mardon.[7] In 1992, Carr and Max Turner partnered with politician Eddie Obeid to offer A$16 million for Offset Alpine . She later pulled out of the deal, leading Obeid to partner instead with Rene Rivkin and Graham Richardson for a successful, $15 million offer.[8]
Carr and Max Turner later bought Merritt Madden Printing and Advanced Graphics, a commercial printer producing prospectuses, annual reports, and trade magazines. In October 2004, she and Turner sold the business to the New Zealand company Blue Star Print Group.[7]
In October 2023, Helena Carr died from a brain aneurysm while in Vienna , Austria, aged 77.[9] [10] Her funeral was held at St Mary's Cathedral on 14 November.[11]
