Carolyn Frances Flock Age 85 of Stillwater, Passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at her home in Boutwells of Oak Park Heights. Born on November 9th, 1939, in Sparta, Wisconsin, Carolyn was a model of love, faith, and service.
Carolyn grew up in a large, loving family on Summit Ridge near Norwalk, Wisconsin. She started her education at the Bohn School, the one-room schoolhouse where her lifelong love of learning began. Carolyn enjoyed returning to the farm for family reunions and visiting with her many nieces and nephews. Carolyn treasured her time outdoors and was an avid hiker and nature enthusiast. She was known to regularly sprint off the path into a ditch to recover a sprig of wild asparagus or identify a rare wildflower. She cherished her Catholic faith and served her community through countless volunteer hours with the Saint Michael Council of Catholic Women and Befrienders. Carolyn was a gracious and loving host who could whip up a meal to serve visitors at a moment’s notice. Never captive to a recipe, making unique substitutions when the ingredients weren’t in her pantry.
Mass of Christian Burial was held at 11 am on Friday, December 20th, at the Church of St. Michael in Stillwater, Minnesota. A burial will be held at St. John The Baptist on Summit Ridge (Norwalk, WI), in the spring of 2025. For a full obituary see Simonet Funeral home (Stillwater MN) website.
