Carole Deann Johnson was born April 18, 1935, in Alpha, Iowa, the daughter of Phil J. and Mary “Mae” (Nienhaus) Lusson. She received her education in Ridgeway and graduated from the Ridgeway High School in 1953. She continued her education in Minneapolis where she trained as a laboratory technician. While attending a dance at the Inwood Ballroom in Spillville, Iowa, Carole met Alvin “Avey” Johnson. The couple were married on September 21, 1955, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cresco, Iowa. To this union two daughters were born.
Carole had worked at the Cresco and New Hampton Clinics, Ace Hardware in New Hampton and was employed for 26 years with the ASCS offices in New Hampton, Cresco and Charles City. She was a member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Holy Family Rosary Society, the Lawler American Legion Auxiliary and the Fredericksburg Country Club.
Carole was an active volunteer for many organizations including Iowa Hospice, Silver Advantage and Mercy Medical Center. She enjoyed golfing and had a hole-in-one on #2 at the Fredericksburg Country Club. She also liked reading, crocheting and of course attending any and all sporting events.
Carole loved her family and adored her grandchildren. She had a caring heart. The word ‘no’ was not in her vocabulary. A job or task was never too big to try and tackle.
Survivors include her husband, Avey; two daughters, Danita (Tom) Winter of St. Charles, Illinois and Leann (Bob) Vorwald of New Hampton; four grandchildren, Cara (Jeff Kirsch) Winter of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Abby Winter of Omaha, Nebraska, Megan (Alex) Koenigs of Cresco and Marc Vorwald of New Hampton; one great-grandchild expected in September.
She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Daryl Lusson and a grandson Mark Winter in 1986.
