Carol was a lifelong Eau Claire resident and member of Hope Lutheran church.
She graduated from Eau Claire High School in 1953 and went on to be a Registered Nurse after graduating from Luther Hospital School of Nursing in 1956. She worked as an RN at Chippewa Manor and Luther/Mayo Hospital and Hospice. After retirement she was a devoted volunteer with the Luther Hospital Step Force.
She raised her family and enjoyed many pets and the wildlife surrounding her country home. She was an avid gardener and cook and enjoyed classical music, especially violin pieces as she was an accomplished violinist.
Carol is survived by her children, Karen (Steve) Langenberger, Fredrik (Joni) and Peter (Liz Herrick) Leer; grandchildren, Matthieu, Melanie, Joshua, and Nathan; and sister, Diane Stowe.
Carol was preceded in death by her husband John O.; her parents, Forrest and Rose Anderson; and her sister, Arlene Haunshild.

I worked with Carol many pms on Luther´s oncology unit back in the 1980´s. I remember all her goodies she would bring in and homemade buns she made. She was like a mom to me back then. Even though I moved away, I never forgot Carol and thought of her often! Such a wonderful lady!! My condolences to the family!
