Carole will forever be remembered by her family and friends for her creativity, artistic ability, and prowess in the kitchen. She was known for her skill in painting rosemaling. Her children hold fond memories of the doll clothes she would make from her sewing machine, specifically for Barbie and Cabbage Patch Dolls. She was an excellent cook, treating her family to amazing home cooked meals and known for her peanut butter cookies. Above all, her family was most important to her, and she loved spending time with all of them at family reunions.

I will always cherish my sweet auntie Carole. From my earliest memories of her, she always made me feel special. I remember riding my bike to her and Tussie’s house and spending afternoons just listening to her beautiful sing-song voice. As an adult, our times spent together were always filled with laughter and love. Carole will be treasured in my heart and memories. She was truly a beautiful soul.
With love and prayers for her children and grandchildren,
Debbie Sandbeck Stevens Barr
