Doris Marilyn Carlson was born to parents Carl and Nettie (Asper) Hagen on April 16, 1926 in Hawarden, IA, the youngest of eleven children. She died June 27, 2012 at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, IA at the age of 86 years, 2 months and 11 days. Doris was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. She was a member of Nathanael Lutheran Church and Ruth Circle.
Doris attended Cole Rural School, Alcester High School, and graduated from Augustana Academy, Canton, SD, 1944. She went to secretarial school and worked for a short time in Sioux City, IA.
Doris was united in marriage to Kenneth Carlson on May 18, 1945. They farmed in the Alcester area from 1947 to 1990. She worked in a grocery store in Alcester for 25 years. Together they enjoyed 25 years of square dancing. They also loved to travel, wintering in Texas and took many fishing and camping trips with the family and friends. Making lefse and flat bread together was a "must" for the winter months. She enjoyed embroidery work and quilting at church. She was also the unofficial Alcester and family historian compiling over 70 scrapbooks of family and friends, including pictures and events.
She will be remembered as a kind, gentle, proper lady who loved her family, with a special place in her heart for babies and young children.
