Carol Adelle Rosenquist

Carol Adelle Rosenquist passed away on July 2, 2024. She was born Nov. 29, 1937, in Minot, North Dakota. 

Carol moved to Libby, Montana to teach in 1958 and married John Rosenquist the same year.

She was an elementary teacher for 42 years and continued to teach those around her every day of her life. Carol never lost her love of learning through travel, reading, study and conversations. She was a world traveler, visiting many countries and always making new friends along the way.

Carol was active at the church and called Christ Lutheran her second home. Music was a part of every day, playing piano, attending her grandchildren’s concerts and performances, or simply dancing around to the beat. 

Quilting was another favorite activity, shared with special friends at church, quilt guild, and quilt retreats. Most of all, Carol valued people, relationships and love.

She was a collector of cherished experiences with friends, family, and all those fortunate enough to spend time with her.

She is survived by her four children, John Rosenquist Jr. of Libby, Teri Nielsen of Kalispell, Randy Rosenquist of Missoula and Kathi Hooper of Libby; her siblings Paul Nelson, Ione Howson, and David Nelson; seven grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. 

She is preceded in death by her husband, John Rosenquist, and brother Palmer “Doc” Nelson.

Services will be at Christ Lutheran Church at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 18. 

Arrangements are under the care of Schnackenberg Funeral Home of Libby, Montana. Online condolences and memories may be shared by visiting www.schnackenbergfh.com.
