Carol L. Bleck, age 85 of Rockford, Minnesota, passed away July 14, 2022.
She was born on May 19, 1937 in Greenfield, Minnesota to Leonard and Marcella (Schostag) Bleck. Carol was Baptized at Cross Lutheran Church on June 20, 1937, was confirmed on May 13, 1951, and became a lifelong member there.
Carol lived with her parents on the family farm for most of her life. She graduated with the class of 1955 from Rockford High School, and then began working at Carlson Companies. Carol was happily employed with them for 39.5 years.
Carol had a strong faith and was a loyal member of Cross Lutheran Church. She volunteered serving in the kitchen, singing in the choir, loved being with her “little kids”, Grandma Carol to many. She was always a person you could rely on to help out, whenever she could. She also loved baking cookies and giving them to family and friends. Carol also volunteered at the Wise Penny in Buffalo and enjoyed spending time outdoors; sometimes you could find her out on the lake fishing.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Marcella. Carol is survived by all her relatives and friends that cared so much about her.
Funeral service will be held Sunday, 7/17/22, at 2PM with visitation beginning at 12PM at Cross Lutheran Church in Rockford, MN. Interment to follow at Elmwood Cemetery, Rockford, MN.

Always enjoyed visiting and joking with Carol. I enjoyed her!
My name is Deb & I had the pleasure knowing Carol at her time at the Glenn in Buffalo. There was not a single soul that didn’t absolutely adore Cutie Carol. She was full of spunk & had us laughing all the time. Just a little sweetheart with quite the personality. We are kindred souls because like Carol, I’ve never married or had children. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have kids in our life & live full lives. She was about the happiest lady I know. I’m so grateful for knowing her.
RIP Cutie Carol!
I was saddened to see this in the paper, I would like to have attended the service. Carol & my mom were best friends for many years when they both lived in Rockford apartments. Carol was part of our family & attended our holiday dinners & birthday parties. Even after mom’s passing 4 years ago, Carol was still included in family events. She was spunky & sassy, & will be greatly missed.💜 My name is Theresa & Clarion Conzet was my mom.
