Carole Anne Marie Winter, 83, died on Friday, January 10, at Ava Marie in Jamestown ND.

     Carole was born December 15, 1941 in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  Her parents were Raymond and Dolores (Charnoleski) Winter.  She graduated from Bay View high school in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1959. 

     She served in the Army from June of 1961 to June of 1963 when she was honorably discharged.  Carole was proud of her military service and spoke of it frequently.

     After her military service, Carole moved to Seattle Washington and worked as an office manager for General Tire and Rubber Company.  In 1970, she was invited by a friend to visit a North Dakota farm.  She fell in love with the farm and decided to stay.  She worked for Anson Rosenbaum as a bookkeeper and farmhand.  Throughout the 70’s and early 80’s she spent time showing cattle at the different fairs around the state.  She had much love for Guernsey cattle.

     Carole received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Jamestown college in May of 1988.  She graduated with a major in English and a minor in psychology. 

     Carole moved to Denver Colorado in 1993.  It had always been a dream of hers to live in Colorado.  She returned to the farm in Pingree in 1996.  She lived on the farm until November of 2024 when she moved to Ava Marie due to her failing health.    

     Carole loved being outside.  She loved working with rocks, pavers, and dirt.  She spent years building a sidewalk out of field stone in her back yard.  You could drive by the farm on any day and see her working on her sidewalk, mowing grass, trimming trees, and her favorite thing – using the Bobcat.

     Carole is survived by her two children; Eric (Lori) Winter and Scott (Sasa) Winter; Four grandchildren Nicolas, Kellen, Cashton, Raiden; One great grandchild, Zeenah.  Carole was preceded in death by her parents and two sisters.

     A private family memorial service will be held.
