Carol was a farmer’s wife who kept
busy cooking and running for parts and keeping track
of where everyone was. Whenever anyone stopped by
there was always room at the table to eat and have a
glass of her famous iced tea.
Carol was very active in the community throughout her
entire life. She was a member of the Abraham Lincoln Chapter of DAR
and of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority – Laurel Chapel. She belonged to the
Ladies Aid at Zion Lutheran Church and was also involved in the Farm
Bureau and Home Extension. She was recently recognized for being a
member of the Lincoln Woman’s Club for over 50 years.
Carol had an extensive circle of friends that she cherished dearly.
The family would like to thank all of these wonderful people for
their kindness and thoughtfulness and the many memories that were
shared.
Memorials may be made to Zion Lutheran Church, Zion Lutheran School
or an organization of the donor’s choice.
Final arrangements are entrusted to Peasley Funeral Home of Lincoln.
