I am thankful for Carol’s friendship that began through a Franciscan life group. The beautiful African violets at her Alexandria home and her garden. A wonderful lady that will be missed.
Thank you Carol.
Carol was a faithful volunteer in our Associate office, stuffing envelopes, and whatever needed to be done. An evergenerous person. How was she related to our Sister Dorothy Ann Rudolph, now 96 years old?
Dear Lisa, Lori and Jason, I was a friend of your mother. I would visit her in St. Cloud many times and I know she loved you and her grandchildren so very much. I loved to see all the pictures she had of you all. She was a beautiful Franciscan Associate and I loved her dearly.
Caroljene loved children and teaching but was SO proud of all of you. Cherish her memory.
She was a wonderful lady
