Carol was born to Ernest Fredrick Faber and Helen Jane Kough Faber in Postville, Iowa. Carol’s family moved to Brookings, South Dakota in 1952 where she graduated Brookings High School.
On August 13, 1959, Carol married the love of her life, Edward Lee Anderson. The couple began their marriage in Billings, MT where they lived for a short season before returning to Brookings where Ed was a police officer. They were blessed with three beautiful children: daughter, Jody Lynn, and two sons, John Edward & Lee Allen.
In 1970 the family relocated to Lodi, CA, where Ed continued his career as a police officer. Carol was first a devoted mother. She began her career at Lodi Community Hospital and finished at Arbor Convalescent, where she became Dietary Supervisor, from 1990 until 2009.
The family joined Temple Baptist Church in 1971 and Carol has remained a faithful member since. She has enjoyed and appreciated the love and support she received from her many friends and the pastoral staff.

As well as siblings Kenneth Faber and wife Judy and Margaret Wilson & husband Bob, from Brookings, SD, sister Laura Carver and husband Tom of Rancho Murieta, CA, eleven nieces, eleven nephews, sister-in-law and best friend Priscilla (Ting) Faber.
Carol was cherished by all who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be best remembered for her love & devotion to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, her fortitude, her witty sense of humor, and her gentle spirit. She was indeed beautiful inside and out and left her mark on each of our lives.
