Carol earned her Associates degree in Culinary Arts from UAA and worked as a cook from 1977-84 at the Palmer Pioneer Home. Carol was a parishioner of St. Michael’s Catholic Church and Sacred Heart Church. She was a loving and giving woman who shared her faith with her family. Carol is survived by her husband Sigmund, her children: Mary, Jason, Eric, Lori, Joyce, and Mark; 15 grandchildren; and 9 great grandchildren. Carol’s immense generosity, talent for precision baking, novel sense of humor, and love for ultra-long hikes in the Last Frontier, made her a most loved matriarch. She found great joy in music and loved to travel. She was proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
