Carol Anderson
May 28, 1925 — December 22, 2016
Carol Ruth (Carter) Anderson, passed away on Thursday, December 22, 2016 at Thorne Crest Retirement Community in Albert Lea. She was 91 years old. Memorial services for Carol will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, December 27, 2016 at Grace Lutheran Church in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Reverend Shane Koepke will officiate. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at church.
Carol was born on May 28, 1925 to parents Earl and Ruth Ann (Fesenmeyer) Carter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She attended Bethesda Hospital School of Nursing, graduating with a degree as a registered nurse. Carol married the love of her life, Russell Anderson, on June 12, 1946 in Minneapolis. They made their home in Albert Lea for the last 70 years and were members of Grace Lutheran Church since it began as a Quonset hut.
Carol was a nurse at the Naeve Hospital for many years and was a night supervisor. In her free time, she enjoyed reading, needlework, and baking. She was famous for her delicious Christmas sugar cookies. Carol remained extremely active up until her final days… even baking her family one last round of those wonderful Christmas cookies. She lived her life to take care of others and most importantly to be there for her husband Russell.
She will be greatly missed by her family. Survivors include her husband, Russell Anderson; children, Deborah (Peter) Deem of Colorado, Dave (Peggy) Anderson of Albert Lea, Scott Anderson of Colorado; grandchildren, Jennifer (Richard) Pacher of Colorado, Chad Anderson of Colorado, Amy (Troy) Kuskie of Colorado, Kari Matson (fiancé Randy Buscovick) of Albert Lea; great-grandchildren, Alexandra Pacher, Brooke Swanson (fiancé Ty Lerum), Luke Matson, Bryce Anderson; half-brother, Noel Johnsen of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. She was preceded in death by her parents and half-brother, George Johnsen.
Memorials preferred to Youth for Christ and Good Earth Village. Thank you to the Albert Lea Hospice, Albert Lea Medical Center, and Thorne Crest Retirement Community for their care and support of Carol and her family.
