Carol and Hank moved to Fargo in 1989 where Carol was employed for nearly 20 years at the dental office of Dr. Charles Klemz and Dr. Michael Joyce. In addition to her clerical work, a great joy to her was providing home baked goodies on a weekly basis for her beloved co-workers.

She was preceded in death by her husband Henry in 2002, her parents, an older brother Kenneth and three sisters-in-law; Alma Overby, Myrtle Overby and Audrey Overby.
Carol will be remembered as a Godly woman with exemplary morals. All who knew Carol would agree that she was a model of selflessness, love, peace, kindness, goodness, generosity, faithfulness, and gentleness.

I want to wrap my arms around you, Barb and Gerry. I can’t start to tell you how very sorry I am. I feel the loss of your mom deeply as you all have been and continue to be such an important part of the Lian family. Her presence and kindness and support will be tremendously missed in the Aneta Community. She will be alive in my heart forever. May you find peace in knowing that for her there is no more suffering. Much love, Jacki.
Dear Barb and Gerry, We. are so sorry for your loss. We heard that your Mom was in the hospital but was unaware of the seriousness. I(Verna) have much on my plate now with Arlyn’s care, I would so have liked to visit Carol. She was so very special, her love for Jesus shown through her life! God was good to grant us opportunity to know her. Gods blessings to you all! Verna and Arlyn
So sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. Always so friendly and a big smile! Sympathies to her family.
We are so shocked and saddened by the loss of a very good friend. We had the privilege of being their pastor for 4 years in Aneta, and Hank and Carol were two of the most faithful and enriching people we have ever known. Our memories are vivid of them and the influence they had on our lives and many others also. We know they will inspire many of the family and friends to follow their example.
To Carol’s family our most sincere sympathy. We will miss Carol at Bethel as well as in AZ, where we would see her at church.We always enjoyed our visits and often sitting together. She was a very dear christian lady and a perfect example of Jesus’ love.
Love the video but so sad to watch. Love you.
My hugs to all of the family. Katie and Stephanie especially.
