Carol Ann Indahl

Carol Ann Indahl, 76, of La Crosse and formerly of Farmington, MN., passed into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, July 27, 2021.  She received her Savior’s warm embrace after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Carol was born on December 6, 1944 to Violet (Schild) and Melvin Schomberg.  She was baptized into God’s family at St John’s Lutheran Church in Barre Mills.  Carol spent her childhood growing up on the family farm in Barre Mills.  She later graduated from West Salem High School in 1963.  A year later, on May 29, 1964, Carol married the love of her life, David Gary Indahl at St. John’s Church in Barre Mills, WI.  Dave and Carol sacrificed and worked hard raising six children and had a blessed marriage.  They were longtime members of Immanuel Lutheran Church in La Crosse.

Carol’s life-long passion was as a mother but also worked various jobs including being a hairstylist, Jack Winters, JC Penney, Bethany St. Joseph Nursing Home, and Data Card.

For over 35 years Carol found joy enthusiastically cheering on all of her children during their various sporting events. She also loved music - whether it was simply listening, singing along to the radio, or cutting a rug with her lifelong dance partner - Gary.  The two of them could make their way on the dance floor or shake a tail feather on their own.  Carol also enjoyed reading, cooking, gardening, and traveling.  She would gladly tell you all about her favorite trip to Israel.

Carol was preceded in death by her loving husband David Indahl, her father, Melvin Schomberg; mother, Violet (Schomberg) Rhyme; step father, Earl Rhyme; mother-in-law, Charlotte Indahl; father-in-law, John Indahl; grandson Gabriel; son-in-law, William Schafer; sister, Mary Drecktrah; and brother, William Schomberg.

She is survived by: six children, Dawn (Bruce) Germann of Farmington, MN; Lisa (Perry) Kilmer of Stoddard, WI; Scott (Andrea) Indahl of Phoenix, AZ; Penny (Brian) Bohn of Holmen, WI; Josh (Lisa) Indahl of Owatonna, MN; and Dusty (Ellie) Indahl of Apple Valley, MN.  Carol was the proud grandmother of 22 grandchildren, 2 step-grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.  She is also survived by her brother, Fred (Betty) Schomberg of West Salem, WI, brothers-in-law, Gene Drechtrah of Oshkosh, WI and Larry (Della) Indahl of Trempealeau, WI; sister-in-law, Donna Schomberg of West Salem, WI; numerous nieces and nephews, and her beloved 4 four-legged companion, Copper.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, July 30 ^th at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Barre Mills, WI,.  Pastor Silas Schmitzer will officiate.  Burial will follow in the church cemetery.  Visitation will take place at the church on Friday from 11:00-1:00pm.

The family would like to thank the staff at Hillview Care Facility for their wonderful care of their Mother.

In lieu of flowers, all gifts in memorial will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association.
