Carol Louise Clauzel, 85, went home to be with Jesus on December 31, 2025. A celebration of life will be held in the Spring.

Carol was born on December 13, 1940, to Paul and Louise Archer. She spent most of her adolescent life in the rural Northern California town of Manton. Then, at 15, her family moved to Escondido, California. Carol raised her family in San Luis Obispo County, California, where she made many friends and memories.

Carol was a bright light and loved being the life of the party. She had many talents, but the most notable was her baking. Christmas time was her favorite when she made Swedish Tea Rings for her special friends.

Carol spent the last 37 years mostly in Colville, Washington, where she made many, many friends who will miss her dearly.

She is survived by her three daughters; Shari Urban (Don) of Las Vegas Nevada, Tammy Hinrichs (Rich) of Templeton California, Vicki Kelling (Roger) of Priest River Idaho, her special friend Roy Fosback of Kettle Falls Washington, five grandchildren; Alex, Evin, Will, Lauren and Cody, as well as two great grandchildren; Bravo and Aziza. Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Myron.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alzheimer’s Association.
