On December 30, 1978, Carol was united in marriage to Arden Thorvald Thompson at the Swift County Courthouse. Carol and Arden were blessed with twin sons, Jason and Jeff, and made their home in DeGraff, Minnesota, for more than forty years.

While she worked many jobs throughout her life, Carol’s biggest passion was her family. She lived her life to serve those she loved. Carol was the first to volunteer her services by making mac salad for family gatherings, helping paint rooms and houses, or just stopping by to visit when someone needed a friend. She was a member of the St. Bridget’s Altar and Rosary.

Carol is survived by her sons Jeffrey of DeGraff, MN, and Jason (Sarah Poole) of Monticello, MN; three grandchildren: Caleb, Kaitlyn, and Gabriel Thompson; siblings: Jerome (Ruby) Wrobleski, Donald Wrobleski, Mick (Marlene) Wrobleski, Larry Wrobleski, and Rick (Roxanne) Wrobleski, all of Benson, MN, as well as several nieces and nephews; and many other relatives and friends.

Carol was preceded in death by her husband Arden Thompson, her parents Frank and Loretta Wrobleski, brothers: Frank Wrobleski Jr., Kenny Wrobleski, and James Wrobleski; sisters: Marie Lee, Shirley Staton, and Lynette Hippen; infant brothers Eugene Wrobleski and Darcy Wrobleski; brother-in-law Ray Staton, sister-in-law Janet Wrobleski, niece Kayla Wrobleski, nephew Darcy Wrobleski, father and mother-in-law Thorvald and Grace Thompson, brother-in-law Roger Thompson, nephew Lance Thompson, and a niece Paige Hjelle.
