Carol Anderson Dahlgren Obituary

Mrs. Carol Leigh Anderson Dahlgren, 79, passed away on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 in Mobile, AL. She was born August 8, 1942 to the late W. J. and Bessie Anderson. She had one sister, Sandra, and two brothers, Mike and Bill. On October 5, 1963, Carol married Clifton Wayne Dahlgren and they lived most of their 54 years of marriage in Gautier, MS. They had one daughter, Cynthia, and three sons, Bruce, Todd, and Steven. She was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Gautier. Carol had a college degree to teach Math and Science in junior high and high schools. In the summer of 1961, during her college years, she was a Vacation Bible School Summer Missionary in Alabama. After she graduated from college, she became a teacher in Alabama for three months. Then she and her husband decided that she could be a stay-at-home wife and mother, and use her teaching skills in other ways. She enjoyed helping her children learn to read and to do many other things. For twenty years, Carol helped teach children’s Sunday School on Sunday mornings and in the summers she taught Bible stories to children in Vacation Bible School. She shared her love for Jesus and joy of reading with her grandchildren, other children, and adults by giving out books, sending letters of encouragement, talking, listening, or trying to help them when they needed it. She loved her family, babies, children, and everyone else. Along with her parents, Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Clifton Wayne Dahlgren. She is survived by her four children, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and other relatives and friends. Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 20, 2021, from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Gautier. Funeral service will begin at 2 p.m. with Pastor David Aultman officiating. Burial will immediately follow at Pinecrest Cemetery behind the church. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to The Gideons International, P. O. Box 2315, Pascagoula, MS 39569-2315. Heritage Funeral Home, locally owned and operated in Moss Point/Escatawpa, MS, is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Carol Dahlgren.
