Carol Harberts was born on July 18, 1950 in Dawson to Maxe and Esther (Wallem) Christensen.

Carol had the love of farming, working as a CNA and librarian, and taking care of animals.  She loved raising dogs and riding horse.  She also enjoyed football, cheering on her number one team the Vikings and then the Kansas City Chiefs, especially Patrick Mahomes.  Chocolate, iced coffee, and ice cream were a few of her favorites as she had quite a sweet tooth.  When Carol was able, she was a number one caregiver to her family and others.  Family will cherish that Carol loved her grandchildren very much.

Carol is survived by her children: Chad (Shelly) Mortenson, Dan (Sue) Harberts, Lori Harberts; grandchildren: Raven, Kylee, and Camryn Mortenson, Brandon and Bryan Harberts, Nathan and Danielle Harberts, and 12 great-grandchildren.
