Carol Joan Bartsch

April 3, 1949 — December 17, 2014

Carol Joan Bartsch 65, of Goodhue passed away December 17, 2014 at Methodist Hospital in Rochester. She was born April 3, 1949 in Red Wing to Wallace and Frances (Albers) Huebner. She was baptized May 8, 1949 in Hay Creek. She lived in Hay Creek before moving to the farm West of Goodhue in 1951. On May 19, 1963 she was confirmed in St. Peter's Lutheran Church.
In 1967, she graduated from Goodhue Public School. While going to school and after graduation, she worked at the Goodhue Creamery from Nov. 1965 - Sept. 1973. In 1972, she started playing the organ, after being self-taught, at St. Peter's Lutheran Church. She continued playing piano and organ for 40 years until her health forced her to stop playing.
On October 6, 1973 she married Carl Bartsch at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Goodhue. They started their lives together in Red Wing before moving to Goodhue in 1983. During that time, she was a homemaker and commuted to Goodhue to help her father raise day old pullets to laying hens. In 1985, she started making rugs with her father. As the years went on, her husband and daughter, Marissa, have taken over the family rug business that was started by her paternal grandmother.
Carol was a homemaker to her four children until 1996 when she started working for the Country Station in Goodhue. Health issues forced her to retire early in 2014.
Her hobbies included: sewing, playing piano and organ, watching the Minnesota Twins and Vikings, bowling and gardening.
She is survived by her husband; four children, Matthew Bartsch of Zumbrota, Marissa (Paul) Myers of Zumbrota, Marcus Bartsch of Goodhue and Melanie Bartsch (Joshua Wees) of Rochester; sister, Vicky Huebner of Rochester; aunt, Arleen Holey of Kasson and many cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents.
