Carol E. Dahlquist, 88, of Roseville, passed away suddenly on the afternoon of December 11, 2023 while walking through her beloved patio/garden space of her Westwood Village Townhome which she had just finished decorating with pine boughs and Christmas related items the previous week. She was either walking to her car, or from the car. Roseville Fire Department Paramedics at the scene said it appeared she suffered a massive heart attack or stroke.

Carol was preceded in death by parents Jennie and Seth Sandgren, husband Jerome and brother Roger. She is survived by her sons, Seth, Scott (Joanne) and grandsons Arthur, Alexander, sister Mary, sisters-in-law, Beverly Sandgren and JoAn Schrock (Joel) nieces, nephews and many friends.

Born in Chicago in 1935, she grew up in Southwestern Michigan and moved with her parents and brother to a farm in rural Chisago City in 1953. A graduate of the University of Minnesota in 1958, she was married to Jerome later that year. They moved to the Iron Range town of Virginia, in 1961.  Both sons were born there.  They moved to Roseville, in 1970.  Carol loved working at the Roseville Library for 37 years. She was an avid runner, cross country skier and reader. Her family is honoring Carol's wishes not to have a memorial service, her cremains will be buried next to Jerry and other family members at the historic Green Lake Cemetery in rural Chisago City in the spring.   Notices will be posted when a date is selected.
