Carol June Yogerst

In 1974, Carol moved to Wisconsin, where she married Donald. Together they shared 34 years of marriage before his passing in 2009. Throughout her life, Carol held many different jobs and always enjoyed sharing her unique experiences. Cooking and baking were passions of hers, and she loved spending time in the kitchen with Donald, canning the fruits and vegetables he grew in their garden.
