Carol Catherine Voeller

Passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 14, 2021. Born December 4, 1925 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Preceded in death by loving husband of 61 years, Bob; father, George; mother, Catherine; brothers, Ronald and George Jr.; and sister, Francis. Survived by son Mark (Eunice), daughter Patricia (Steve) Martinson, son Jeff, and son Rick (Chaka). Grandchildren: Daniel, Sean, Joe, Samantha, Kelsey, Michael, Nicholas, Jessica, Justin, Jordan and Christina and seven great-grandchildren.

Carol was a loving and devoted wife, mom, grandmother and great-grandmother and truly lived for her family. Carol was a stay-at-home mom until her children were in school and then she enjoyed successful careers at Applebaum’s and the St. Paul Pioneer Press in the accounting departments, and later Dayton’s Department Store working in the children’s department which allowed her to enjoy her favorite hobby of shopping there. Carol enjoyed traveling with her husband Bob, attending weekly mass at St. Jerome Parish in Maplewood with him and later her children and was an avid supporter of her grandchildren’s events. Her lifestyle of tenderness was never more exemplified by the years of care and advocacy she had for her special-needs brother-in-law Arthur. She will be forever remembered for her infectious laugh and unending compassion for others and her love of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She truly had a gentle soul and always wanted everybody to be happy. Her lifestyle of compassion for others and love for her family will live on through her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Private Mass of Christian Burial for family will be Tuesday, April 20, 11:00 a.m. at St. Jerome Catholic Church with interment to follow.
