Carol was born to Harold and Laura Zwieg on August 12, 1938, in St. Paul, MN. She grew up in St. Paul and graduated from Alexander Ramsey High School in 1956. After high school she worked for State Farm Insurance. She met Roger Fredrickson and they were married on August 20, 1960, almost making it to sixty-five years together! They made their home in Zumbrota and lived there their entire married life.

Carol worked at home until the children were grown. She did babysitting for various families and she worked for twenty plus years as a home health aide. She was always a favorite at these positions. She was always in demand for her caring and loving nature!! She enjoyed shopping at thrift stores and going to craft and garage sales with daughter, Lori. She collected sunflower items and tea pots. Sun flowers were her favorite flower. She wrote the best notes, whether in a thank you card or birthday card or any other occasion that she might send. She enjoyed entertaining, along with Roger, for many family gatherings!

Carol is survived by her husband, Roger, son, Michael of Zumbrota and daughter, Lori (Doug) Stegeman of Cannon Falls. Sister, Sherry (Jim) Jamoral and brother, Dave (Mary) Zwieg of St Paul, MN.

Her memorial service will be 11 a.m., Saturday, May 17th at Minneola Lutheran Church with Pastor Hannah Bergstrom de Leon officiating. Visitation will be one hour beforehand. Burial at Minneola Church Cemetery.
