Age 52 of Cottage Grove Passed away April 15, 2016 Super mom, loving wife and a ray of sunshine to all who knew her, Carrie fought cancer with humor and grace, setting an example of how to live life to the fullest. We will miss her bubbly personality and boundless energy and are better people today after experiencing her generosity, love and compassion. Preceded in death by mother Antoinette Klein and father-in-law Robert Lindstrom. Survived by husband Kris, daughter Jessi (husband Kyle Larson) and son Jake (fiancé Brittany Streich); father Henry (Doty) Klein; siblings and their significant others Tom (Helen) Klein, Cindy (Tony) Williams, Tim (Jeanette) Klein, Ted (Katherine) Klein, Christine (Matt) Lindeman, Carla (Tom) Waite and Connie Standiford; mother-in-law Joyce Lindstrom; brothers-in-law Karl (Lynn) Lindstrom and Jon (Tina) Lindstrom; beloved nieces and nephews; and many other family members and friends. Carrie was the most dedicated, loving wife and mother you could ever ask for. She enjoyed spending time with family, cooking fabulous food, hosting holidays and going up to the lake. Every day before her kids left for school, she would say, "Remember to do something nice for someone today!" We will always remember these words and live by them every day in her honor.

No one needs to hear how much I loved, adored and admired Carrie. I always wanted to be her and I drove her nuts as kids! :) Many have heard this story, but Carrie was my Mom's messenger from heaven. On Dad's first chemo day, I asked Mom for a sign she was with us. She sent Carrie/Carolynn. His last day of chemo, was also hers. She was all smiles, gave Dad and myself tons of encouragement and waved us off if we asked about her. "I'll be fine! You worry about Uncle Rog" She was a beautiful, generous, HILARIOUS human being that only gave her best at all times! She has always reminded me of Mom and Aunt Tony since their passings. She was the best of them all in one, yet still her own person. I will miss her, forever!

Love you all!

Dear Klein family. On behalf of the McIntosh Clan, we are thinking of each of you as you carry through this difficult time. I am traveling on business, so unable to be there for you now. However, if you need anything next week and moving forward then please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Connie and our family and yours have known one another for years and years. I have so many memories of the Klein household on Cahill in Inver Grove Heights and have always held each and every one of you close to my heart. Carrie's smile was and still is, in fact, ear-to-ear and whomever she came across she always made feel important and special. Carrie is with God now and an Guardian Angel for us all. Cherish all the wonderful times and please know that she is smiling down on her family and loved ones from Heaven at this very moment and always. My love and prayers to you forever. Cathy McIntosh.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered come to me. With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. ❤
