Carol Genevieve (Berger) Quandahl was born October 15, 1932 in Waukon, Iowa, the daughter of Benjiman and Stella (Herman) Berger. She attended rural schools of Allamakee County and graduated from Waukon High School with the class of 1950.
She was united in marriage to Paul E. Quandahl on July 16, 1950 at First Presbyterian Church in Waukon, IA. This union was blessed with seven children: Quentin, Kevin, Tracy, Sharon, Clark, Anthony and Eric.
In their early years Paul and Carol ran a gas station, restaurant & grocery store in Waukon. In 1960 Paul and Carol moved to Decorah where they had the Dolly Madison Dairies franchise. Carol helped with bookkeeping for the business. In 1965 Paul and Carol moved to their current location in Decorah where they had a poultry and hen laying operation, selling eggs to local businesses in Decorah.
Carol was a homemaker, Cub Scout den mother and was very active in the Order of the Eastern Star where she served in all the offices including Worthy Matron. She was a member of First Lutheran Church where she was active in church Circle and was a Sunday School teacher for many years.
She loved to read books for herself and to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to play cards and games, and really liked to cook.
