Carol was born in Swift County, MN, to a large farming and gravel contractor family. Carol became a school teacher. Carol told her grandkids, she met a charming, handsome, and athletic fellow (Virgil) who became the love of her life. They married and moved to the Twin Cities where she went to beauty school. Carol & Virgil went on to have six daughters. Together, Carol and Virgil had a passion for travel. They visited all 50 states and especially loved America's National Parks and Presidential Libraries. In addition to travel, her hobbies included sewing, gardening, canning, cooking, baking, fishing and visiting with friends and family. She was dedicated to her community serving in the PTA, Girl Scout Leader, Election Judge, and volunteering at St. Edwards Church, where she was a Charter Member. She went to work at Lifetouch National School Studios where she spent 20 years and made many life-long friends with whom they enjoyed vacations, monthly breakfast gatherings and being a member of the Red Hat Club, one of many hats she wore. In 1966, Carol and Virgil moved the family to Bloomington where they've lived ever since. They've been ingrained in the community and all 6 daughters live within 3 miles. During their retirement, Carol and Virgil have enjoyed the winters in Bonita Springs, FL. The most important thing to Carol was her love for her husband and family. She will be dearly missed.
