graduated from Stickney High School and State Teachers College. She
taught in Aurora County, South Dakota before marrying Bennadict on

journey. Caroline loves her Lord. She taught Sunday School and Bible
School at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ocqueoc for 30 years. She was
always involved in Bible studies, ladies clubs, and always helping and
giving so much of herself to so many others. She was very dedicated to
the young people of the church, Caroline was a most precious soul, She
was one of a kind, with angel eyes, a godly heart and godly love.

She knew everyone’s birthday. She was the essence of love and patience.
She made everyone feel like family; and next to God — family was
everything. She sang and hummed worship songs while going about her
busy days. Caring for her family; being at all school functions and
everyone’s ball games, baking yummy bread, picking vegetables and fruits
to can, her pretty flowers in the gardens, playing with Kitten,
and having time for tea or a card game, “I thank my God for you every
time I think of you”. — Philippians 1:3. Her family and so many others
will continue to benefit from her graciousness, beautiful heart, and kind
spirit. We are thankful that we are able to prosper in the knowledge she
shared of God’s great love for us, Generations will call her blessed; for
Caroline is a precious gift straight from God. Dance, Sing, and
worship as Jesus welcomes His faithful servant home.
