Carol Jean Sorenson

Carol Jean Sorenson, 78 of Northfield and Owatonna, passed away peacefully Tuesday January 31st with her loving family at her side at the Northfield Care Center in Northfield.

           Carol Jean was born October 5, 1933, in Greenvale Township and was the daughter of Harold and Verna (Howland) Muckey.  Carol was baptized at the Congregational Church in Northfield.  She graduated from Northfield High School in 1952.  Before and after graduation, Carol worked at the Chris Christensen Bakery in Northfield.
 
She was united in marriage on November 16, 1952, to Edward Ronald Sorenson of Northfield and had two sons Donavin and Darrell. They farmed on the family farm until 1976.  In addition to farming, both Carol and Eddie both drove school bus. After she and Eddie sold the farm, she continued to drive bus until 1987, and then worked at the Miller Hartwig Insurance Agency in Lakeville until she retired in February 2000.  In November 2003, Eddie and Carol Jean bought a home in Owatonna. After Eddie’s death Carol moved into assisted living.  Due to failing health Carol moved back to Northfield to the Northfield Care Center in the spring of 2011. Carol was a member of St. Peter’s Church in Northfield, member of the Waterford Ladies Aid, and a member of the Polk of A club where she enjoyed old-time dancing with Eddie and their friends.  She looked forward to camping with her family and friends, and especially to her weekly dinner outings with her family.

Carol is survived by her sons Donavin (Sherri) Sorenson of Faribault and Darrell (Dawn) Sorenson of Owatonna; granddaughter, Dayana Sorenson; step-grandson, Tyler Trosin; two step-granddaughters, Heather Tveit and Holly Laverie; five step great grandchildren; brother Chuck Muckey (and his special friend Dorothy Johnson) of Northfield, brother David Muckey of Las Vegas, brother Len (Ruth) Muckey of Northfield, sister in-law Sylvia Luckman of Faribault, and many loving nieces and nephews.  She is preceded in death by her parents and husband Edward.
