Even though they had no children of their own, their greatest joy was spending time with their nieces and nephews, their children and their families and the neighborhood children. Carol always had time for kids and there was never a shortage of candy at her house to share with them.

Carol and her late husband loved spending time in their trailer in Northern Wisconsin with family and friends. Carol enjoyed playing cards, going on walks and spending time with friends.

After her husband died she went to live at her niece”s homes. Carol had a zest for life which she brought to everyone who met her. She was a JOY to be around and will be greatly missed.

See Condolences

I am so sorry to read of the passing of your loved one. As you prepare to lay them to rest; to sleep in death for just a little while (John 11:11) I hope your family will find solace in the resurrection promise of Jesus; to awaken those who are now sleeping in death (John 5:28,29) restoring them back to life; this time with the hope to live eternally on the renewed Paradise earth, so that God''s will, will be done on the earth, as it is in Heaven..-Matthew 6:9,10; Luke 23:43. Until that wonderful blessed promise is fulfilled, and you are reunited with your loved one again; may GOD(Psalms 83:18) soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort, during this most grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.

I know you are in a better place without the pain and discomfort. We love you very very much and will miss you alot. Your energy for life we all need to look at and apply to our lives. You showed me to live life to the fullest, do everything you want to do and enjoy everyday to the fullest. Thank you Carol for the wonderful memories and the laughes. We love you. Chuck and Bobbette Fiebelkorn (barbie)
