from Carol’s obituary in The Park Bugle:

Carol Alice (King) Kelly, 66, died peacefully at home on July 7.

Carol was raised in St. Anthony Park and was the daughter of Bill and Amy King. She graduated from Murray High School in 1966 and attended Winona State University and the University of Minnesota.

She married John Kelly of Ireland in 1983 and remained there for 30 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers-in-law, Ted Stephens and Malachy Kelly. She is survived by her husband and sisters, Barbara Stephens and Nancy (Jim) Schjolberg.

A celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 5, at St. Anthony Park United Methodist Church, 2200 Hillside Ave.




from Nancy King Schjolberg, Carol’s sister (2014):


When Carol was at the U of M, she found a magazine in Dinkytown with pen pal names and corresponded with about 25 people. One clicked - a forester in Galway - and she moved to Ireland and married him. They had no children but she was close to her nieces and nephews. She died suddenly of a blood clot to her lung two weeks after being diagnosed with a thyroid tumor.
