Carol (Kohl) Albrecht Obituary (1942

Carol Albrecht, the daughter of Henry Calvin and Verna Lucille (Waltmath) Kohl, was born June 21, 1942 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She departed this life on Saturday May 30, 2015, in Superior, Nebraska, at the age of 72 years. Carol was baptized on September 20, 1942, and confirmed on April 3, 1955, at Siloah Lutheran in Milwaukee. Carol graduated from Washington High School in Milwaukee, and furthered her education at Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. Carol was united in marriage to Pastor Paul Gerhardt Albrecht on June 18, 1966, in Milwaukee. This union was blessed with the birth of four children: two sons and two daughters. Carol taught school at Grace Lutheran Church and School in Yakima, Washington. At the time of their marriage Paul and Carol were serving at Good Hope Lutheran in Ellensburg, WA, and at Good Faith in South Cle Elum, WA. Paul then served as pastor at Divine Peace in Renton, WA. From there they moved to Omaha, NE, where Paul served at Gethsemane Lutheran. Carol and Paul made their final move to Superior, NE, where they were welcomed at Centennial Lutheran Church. Carol had worked at Nelson Grade School and Superior Public Schools. Carol's faith meant everything to her. Only a few months ago Carol wrote in her grandchild's school report: "The Lord has been there in good times and bad, I don't know how I'd get through the day without Him." This thought is shown in her favorite Bible passage, Hebrews 13:5: "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." Carol enjoyed crocheting, knitting, and scrapbooking. She also enjoyed reading and writing. Carol had articles published in My Devotions, Portals of Prayer, and Concordia Pulpit Resources. Carol had two books published, as well as a WELS Christmas program, a series of women's Bible studies, and curriculum materials for Concordia Publishing House. Carol would crochet or knit prayer shawls, which she would give to people who were ill. Carol had been a longtime mentor in the Teammates Program. Carol enjoyed her vacations to visit her children and grandchildren. Carol is preceded in death by her parents, her sister Marilyn, and her husband Rev. Paul G. Albrecht (August 27, 2008).
