"Kar", Karol, "Mother Karol" was a very loving caring Christian mom who with her husband "Ned" created a happy life and home for their five children. Karolynn graduated from Mechanic Arts in 1956. Worked as a book keeper, a silk screener and retired from the Mn Tax revenue. 
She was very innovative and creative thru necessity. By upscaling furniture pieces and using her beloved Adler sewing machine to create or repair articles of clothing. Her art touched and inspired others from quilts, knitted baby outfits, crocheted slippers and needlepointed wall art.
Her hobbies also included crafts, gardening, dancing, traveling, reading books, puzzles and listening to the Lawrence Welk show.
We will miss her and her spiritual guidance, Spaghetti Sunday dinners, homemade apple pies, tortillas and lefsa. 
But most of all her noticeable laughter.
