BANKSTON, Iowa - Carol A. Neyen, 70, of Epworth, formerly of Bankston, died suddenly Sunday, Aug. 24, 2008, at Mercy Medical Center-Dubuque.

Private family services will be held at a later date. The Kramer Funeral Home, Dyersville, is in charge of arrangements.

She was born on April 17, 1938, in Graf, daughter of Albert and Philomena (Graf) Neyen. She attended and graduated from St. Clement High School in Bankston.

She was a member of St. Clement Catholic Church in Bankston.

Carol enjoyed attending fairs and livestock shows at the county, state and national level. She was a fan of Iowa Hawkeyes basketball and St. Louis Cardinals baseball and loved her trips to St. Louis. One of her favorite pastimes was to take car rides, especially in the fall to look at leaves.

She loved to spend time with her nieces and their families and attending her great-nephews sporting events. She also enjoyed shopping, getting together with her friends, and loved doing whatever everyone else was doing.

Surviving are her brother, Albert "Butch" Neyen, of Bankston; her nieces and their families, Wanda, Randy, Austin and Landen Knapp, of Epworth, Wendy, Joe, Audrey and Ashlyn Kruse, of Farley, and Lynne, Steve and Logan Wingert, of Bankston; two sisters, Shirley Ahmann, of Farley, and Duanne Pins, of Epworth; sister-in-law, Donna Neyen-Shea, of Dubuque; and many other nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Bill, Robert and Gary; her sister, Beverly Drees; and an uncle, Bill Graf.

Carol's family would like to thank the staffs of The Finley Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, Enoble Manor, Tri-State Dialysis and her CNA, Abbey, for all her extra special help.
