Obituary
Carole Dean Powell passed away
peacefully on February 28, 2021 at Hennepin County
Medical Center in Minneapolis.
She was born October 5, 1935, in Piggott, Arkansas,
to Pauline and John Ort. She graduated Gibson City
(IL) High School and worked as an assistant in a
local doctor’s office for several years. She married
Wayne Powell of Atlanta (IL) and together they
raised two sons, Gregory (Rebecca) of Towanda, IL
and Edward "Joe" (Tracy) of Waconia, MN.
“Nana” adored her two grandchildren, Kaitlyn and
Ashlyn. They were her pride and joy and she
cherished every moment with them.
She is survived by her brother Steve Ort of North
Carolina, and was preceded in death by her parents,
husband Wayne, and her brother Jim.
Carole was a keen bridge player and over the years
pocketed more dimes than she lost, by a healthy
margin. She enjoyed entertaining and going out with
friends, all while showcasing her engaging wit and
sense of humor. She loved every moment she spent
with her family. She particularly enjoyed Joe
grilling in the summer. She was an avid reader and
liked to watch golf and football while rooting for
the Vikings and the Bears. Carole filled her life
with hard work, friendships, and a strong devotion
to family. She will be dearly missed by all of us.
