Carol Milton

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Carol J. Milton on November 11, 2024. She was born in the spring of 1937 in St. Paul, Minnesota, to parents Rose and Elmer Ketchel. Carol attended St. Bernard’s elementary school, and graduated from Washington High School in 1955. As an adult, Carol attended beauty school, but traded in her beauty styling and cutting tools when she became a mother. She was a very athletic minded child and young woman, ahead of her time. Throughout her late teens, early 20’s she enjoyed racing and fixing cars and playing women’s fast pitch softball. In 1960 Carol married Jim Milton and the couple had three children together. In 1965 Carol, Jim and family purchased their dream hobby farm in the St Croix River Valley in Harris, MN. They farmed and raised registered Polled Hereford cattle for over 30 years. She always had a great love for horses, so for many years there were one or more horses on the farm as well.
