December 25, 1932 - July 26, 2023
Carol LaVonne Anfinson, age 90, loving mother of 3, passed away in the evening hours of July 26, 2023, surrounded by her family.
She was born at home on Christmas Day in 1932, Plaza, North Dakota to parents Lillian and Fred Krohn, the youngest of 5 children. Moving to Northern California at a young age, she completed her educational years in Southern California where she raised her 3 children: Steve, Cindy and Bob.
Carol was a loving, caring, loyal and generous Mother, Grand Mother, GG (Great Grand mother), Sister, Auntie, and Friend. Her family was her "everything", so evident in how she loved on them and always put their safety and best interests first. That was Carol..., Christmas Carol,
While raising her children, she was employed in the Banking Industry for many years and completed her professional career at Lodi Memorial Hospital in the Admitting department as the Admitting Desk Greeter. Everyone that she worked with loved her and her compassionate and thoughtful ways, always smiling.
Carol was very skilled in "handy work" sewing, knitting, crocheting, cross stitch and in her last years learned a new skill, Diamond Painting. She truly loved making baby blankets, sweaters and booties for all the new babies that came into her life, including her Grand children and Great Grands. So many family and friends have been left with some of her most beautiful Afghans to cherish.
She is preceded in death by her parents Lillian and Fred Krohn and brothers Kenneth, Dwayne, and Allen(Bud) Krohn.
She is survived by Steve (Carol) Anfinson, Cindy (Pat) Coe, Bob Anfinson and partner Linda, grand children, Dan (Adrina) Anfinson, Shannon (Martyn) Orpiano, Heather (Laura) Islami , Jonathan Anfinson, Ryan (Brooke) Coe, Sean Coe and Michael (Lindsay) Coe, great grand children, Bradyn, Yousif, Reid, Madeline, Emma, Avery, Declan, Asa, and Sydney. She is also survived by her sister Betty and many nieces, nephews and friends.
