Obituary: Flesland, Caroline
Her parents, Charles and Anna Schanbachler, and her two brothers, Victor and Charles, preceded her in death.
She is survived by her sister, Elsie Pierce, four children, Deborah White, Laurie Thomson, Stuart Flesland, and Tami Boone, nine grand- children, and twenty-one great-grandchildren.
Caroline was born in Raymond, Minnesota on April 16, 1927.
Throughout her life, she was a tenacious advocate for her children, a stay-at-home mother who made sure her children knew how to swim, even if she had to break through the ice to do it, and a person who was concerned that others would know Jesus, the One she loved.
She had a rapier wit, which three of her four children inherited.
She was a great cook, a caring friend, and a bargain hunter deluxe.
We are so glad we had the privilege of knowing her.
Thank you, Lord, for showing her the way home.
She is now being overwhelmed by the full understanding of how great God’s love for her has been and continues to be.
Mom’s heart was to tell everyone she could that Jesus died for our sins so we could be made right with the Father.
If she could, she would be shouting from heaven right now saying, “Don’t miss out!
You too can know this freedom, this joy.
It is more than I ever could have imagined.”
There will be a memorial service at 6:30 PM on Thursday, August 13, 2015 at the home of Jim and Tami Boone, 5511 Allen Rd in Elk, Washington.
