Carroll was born to Feodor and Ruth (Schoenrock) Sprenger on December 9, 1934 in Albert Lea, MN. He was raised with a strong faith in God, baptized, and confirmed at Concordia Lutheran Church of Pickerel Lake and has been a devout member his whole life. He grew up in Conger and attended the one-room schoolhouse through eighth grade. In 1952, he graduated from Albert Lea High School. In July of 1955, Carrol was drafted into the military and stationed in Korea. He received an honorable discharge in April of 1957.
Carroll's love of trains fueled his career as a brakeman for the Chicago Central & Pacific Railroad in Waterloo, IA. On his weekends, he travelled home to be with his parents and take care of them as they aged. During his free time Carroll loved travelling and taking several road trips to visit his family members near and far. He loved spending time with his family and watching his favorite sports teams- the Twins, Gophers, and Vikings!

(Dee) Sprenger; brother-in-law, Clem Dohmeier; nephews, Tom (Mary) Dohmeier, Steve (Denise) Dohmeier, Joel (Laura) Dohmeier, Mike (Marit) Sprenger; nieces, Kris (Matt) Anderson, Angie (Eric) Askegaard; 12 great nephews; and 10 great nieces.
