Carol Scheel Sartor

Carol Ann Beedie Scheel Sartor was a true fighter with the sweetest, most positive attitude. She was a shining light to all who shared her life and cared for her. In her final days, when told, "Mom, you're awesome," she smiled and replied, "Well, I gotta be."
She passed away on July 19, 2025, surrounded by family and love, with her trademark smile.
