Carol Stoeckmann Obituary
Stoeckmann, Carol A.
STOUGHTON - Carol A. Stoeckmann, age 82, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home on Oct. 29, 2021. She had a very long battle with cancer. Carol was born in Cottage Grove to Muriel and Stan Miller. The family later moved to McFarland. Carol graduated from Madison East High School in 1957. Carol married Roger Stoeckmann on Sept. 3, 1960, in Madison. After traveling the world with Roger while he was in the U.S. Air Force, they settled in McFarland to raise their family. They were active members of McFarland Lutheran Church. Carol had a flare for many crafts and skills, including quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, and knitting. She always put her heart and soul in her work.
Carol is survived by her husband of 61 years, Roger; daughter, Joanie (Buddy) Smith of Plano, Texas; son, Randy (Liz) Stoeckmann of Hudson, Wis.; and four grandchildren, Joshua (Lauren), Christopher, Samuel, and Grace. She was preceded in death by her parents; and sister, Nancy (Norman) Fisher.
Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 12, at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 206 W. Prospect St., Stoughton, with the Rev. Kelli Schmit officiating. Burial will follow in Town of Dunn Burying Grounds. Friends and relatives are invited to a luncheon, following the burial, at the Stoughton American Legion Hall. Friends may greet the family from 9 a.m. until the time of services Friday.
Memorials may be made in her name to Agrace HospiceCare Inc. of Madison, or McFarland Lutheran Church. A sincere thank you to Carol's Agrace HospiceCare team, especially Tara, Shannon, Sheri, Jenny and all of the staff for their compassionate care of Carol over the last two years.
