Carol Mount

Carol Christine Mount (née Locken), 71, of Bloomington, MN, passed away suddenly on October 6, 2024. Carol was born on December 3, 1952, in Long Beach, CA. She grew up in Lakota, ND, and was a proud graduate of Lakota High School, Class of 1970. She attended Buena Vista University, where she pursued a degree in social work and met her husband, Paul. They were married in Carol's hometown of Lakota, ND, on June 28, 1974. The two eventually settled in Bloomington, MN, where they raised their four children. Carol is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Paul, and their four children: Lyndsay, Justin (Lien), Jarrod, and Kaytlyn Kerns (Megan). She is also survived by her five granddaughters: Locken, Josey, and Lyla Marron, and Kayden and Blakely Kerns, as well as her cousins, who were more like siblings to her. Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Idean and Lucille Locken. Carol attended a speaking engagement with Maya Angelou at St. Catherine University. During the talk, Angelou spoke of those who had a profound impact on her life, calling them "rainbows in the clouds." She said, "the thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud." Carol was the embodiment of a "rainbow in the clouds." She was a bright light, full of color, known for her laughter, generosity, and deep love for people and animals. As a proud grandma, she loved to spoil her granddaughters and shower them with love. She was also a devoted wife who cherished the time spent laughing with her husband, Paul. Carol's caring and generous spirit touched everyone she met. She was always ready to help her family and friends, finding joy in making others happy. Her love for celebrating life's moments-holidays, birthdays, and special occasions-will be deeply missed. A visitation will be held at Washburn-McReavy Bloomington Funeral Chapel on Friday, October 18, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held at Community of the Cross Lutheran Church in Bloomington on Saturday, October 19, at 11:00 a.m. Flowers are welcome, but for those who wish to honor Carol's love of animals, the family requests donations be made in her name to the ASPCA.
