Obituary for Carolyn Stockbridge

Stockbridge, Carolyn “Carrie”, age 67, of Red Wing, MN; former long-time resident of Marion, WI. Beloved mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and educator. Carrie’s children, Joel (Rachel) Stockbridge (Brooklyn Park, MN), Beth (Todd Dresser) Stockbridge (Green Bay, WI); grandchildren, Lisalyn, Joshua, Luke, and Charlie; sister, Connie Hanson; sister-in-law, Deb Groettum; loving nieces, nephews, cousins and their families; and dear friends will miss her generous and compassionate spirit. Carrie takes her place among the angels, including her brother, John Groettum, and parents, Rev. Carl and Mrs. Joan Groettum, who preceded her in death. Carrie was a devoted member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Marion, singing in the choir and serving on the church council. Carrie lived out her faith through her work as principal of the Visions School at Homme Youth & Family Programs, Wittenberg, where her compassionate spirit touched the lives of countless youths. While her retirement was too short, Carrie enjoyed it by traveling and attending her grandchildren’s school activities and sporting events.
