Carolyn Mathison Obituary
Carolyn Jablonski Mathison was born March 15, 1937. The eighth of thirteen children born to Mary and Frank Jablonski of Wibaux, Montana. Growing up on a large farm family, she learned all chores, including milking cows. She attended grade school in a rural elementary school outside of Wibaux, and graduated from Wibaux County High School in 1955. She worked in many hospitals following her 1958 graduation from Presentation School of Nursing in Miles City, MT.
Carolyn married Duane Mathison in rural St. Phillips Church in Wibaux, MT in 1960. She lived the farming experiences in Kinsey while raising their four children, Craig, Mark, Andrea and Rachel. In 1990 Duane and Carolyn moved for a time in Miles City and then returned to the farm and ranching life outside of Miles City on the Broadus Highway.
Carolyn loved all church activities especially singing old hymns and praise scriptures. She also enjoyed being a member of the Christian Women's Club, swimming, exercise, card games and playing tennis. She also especially enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren in all of their sporting events. She continued to support the community with attending local high school and college sporting events even when no family members were playing.
She was preceded in death by her son Mark in 1988, her husband Duane, and her sisters Helen, Mary, Natalie, Betsy and brothers Carl, Bob, Victor, Louie and Frank Jr.
Carolyn is survived by her children, Craig (Stacy) Mathison of Idaho Falls, ID, Andrea Mathison of Billings and Rachel (Mitch) Gundlach of Miles City.
