This union blessed the couple with two daughters and a son whom together they raised in New Ulm. Early in life, Carla worked at 3M as well as the Holiday Inn in New Ulm, but later worked from home raising her family as a loving mother and home-maker. Carla was a lifetime member of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in New Ulm. In life, Carla always loved finding a good deal out shopping. She also enjoyed trying her luck on a good trip to the casino with her family. Of all things in her life, her family always brought her the most joy. Carla will forever be remembered for her strong will, but caring and generous heart. Her love for life and cheerful personality will be missed by many. May her memory forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved her.

Blessed be her memory.
