A time of gathering will be held on Thursday, June 3, from 4-7 pm and on Friday, June 4, from 9:30-10:45 am, followed by a Celebration of Life Service, at 11 am, all at Immanuel Lutheran Church on Fish Lake, 20200 Fairlawn Avenue, Prior Lake.

Urn bearers will be Tim and Tyler Moline. Carol will be laid to rest next to her husband at Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery. A lunch will be served after the burial in the church social hall. Memorials are preferred and will be distributed in her memory, by the family.
Carol was born September 12, 1938, in Lydia, MN to Paul and Glorine (Scharf) Evermann. She and her brother, David grew up on a farm in Lydia, MN. Carol attended school at Fish Lake Immanuel Lutheran Church and married her sweetheart William “Bill” Wangerin there on August 31, 1957. They spent their entire married life in the cabin they bought on Spring Lake that they remodeled and transformed into the loving home where they raised their three children Tom, Lori, and Terry, and where Carol lived until she moved on to her heavenly home.
Carol spent over 40 years working within the Prior Lake school district – 32 years as the secretary of the high school principal(s) and another 10 at the district office supporting staff development. In her free time, Carol enjoyed and had a magic touch with gardening and landscaping. She also loved being active in many church activities from bible study, bell choir and various committees to being both Sunday School and Confirmation teacher.
Carol was known for her humor, spunkiness, zest for life and gleam in her eye. She loved spending time with her family and friends having lunch, going for drives, telling stories, and having a good laugh.
Her family cannot express their thanks enough to the close friends and hospice care who played such a huge part in allowing Carol to stay cared for in her home. She spent her last days gazing at her beloved Spring Lake and had visits with her vast circle of friends and family. Carol left a mark on all of us. She lived her life in Christ’s light and taught us all to embrace and be proud of our faith. Carol was mother, grandmother, aunt, friend, and Gramma Carol to all.
Deeply missed and remembered always by those who loved Carol are children, Tom Wangerin, Lori (David) Moline, Terry (Kathie) Wangerin; grandsons, Tim Moline, Tyler Moline; brother, David (Carol) Evermann; nieces, nephews and other relatives and devoted friends.
Carol is preceded in death by her husband William “Bill” Wangerin and parents, Paul and Glorine Evermann.

A school district lives and breathes, with ups and downs, triumph and tragedy. Superintendents, Principals, Teachers, Staff and students come and go but Carol was always there. Always ready to take on a new day. Our District was blessed to share 42 years with Carol and be inspired by her. God Bless you all.
Carol was such a lovely person.
Praying that God will give you comfort and help help you through the sadness to a time of peace.
Tom and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only met your mother a few times, but she will always hold a special place with me. She had a very special way to make everyone feel welcome. You know she was a great mother by the way her children and grandchildren have grown and live their lives. Life will be different without her, my prayer and thoughts are with you. I will be watching the live stream today praying with you .
Lori and Dave….we are sending our condolences to you and your family, your mom was a great lady will be truly missed….may God find you peace during this time..

I will always remember Carol, her ready smile, quick wit, and joyful spirit that made every visit special, and our visits were all too rare unfortunately. Sending heartfelt wishes for peace and beautiful memories.
May Carol Rest In Peace. My most fond memory of Carol was when she was my Sunday school teacher at Fish Lake church. She had crocheted everyone in class a cross for Christmas. I have treasured that cross as it is still in my Bible to this day. That was back in the 1950’s when I was very young. Sorry for your loss.
Lori and family, I am very saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful person whom I loved hanging out with in the office. So caring and loving to ALL who she came across. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers.
