Carol B. Hartshorne, age 91, passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025. She was born on January 16, 1934 in Riley, WI to Martell and Lynette (Helgeson) England.
A single mom early on, Carol raised her five children and devoted her life to the success of her family. She was the glue that kept her family together.
Carol loved being a school bus driver, and she dedicated over thirty years to taking care of those kids. She loved crafting, rosemaling, baking cakes for family and friend events, and wintering in Florida to visit Art.
