- Carol Lee Masoner, age 75, mother and grandmother, died suddenly at their home in Terrebonne, OR on April 5, 2011.
Carol was born on September 28, 1935 in Three Lakes, WI to the late Leonard Clark Stoneking and Cecil Weeks. She attended Three Lakes High School, graduating in 1953. After high school, Carol attended college in Kansas City, Kansas, receiving a degree in Medical Technology. While working in Kansas City, Carol met Morgan E. Masoner. They were married on September 3, 1960.
In 1963, Carol and Morgan adopted a baby girl. They moved to Los Angeles, where she gave birth to three sons, worked and raised her family. In December, 1974, Carol became a single mother of four young children with the passing of her husband, Morgan. Carol took on the hardships of being a single mother, while working to support and raise her family. She relocated to Three Lakes, WI, only to return to Southern California a year later.
With her children grown, Carol retired in 1991 after working for 20 years at Pomona Valley Hospital in Pomona, CA. She traveled for a while, eventually settling in Terrebonne, OR, where she lived for 19 years until her passing. Carol continued to work into her 70s as a traveling Medical Technologist, working in such places as Kemmerer, WY, Portola, CA and Dutch Harbor, AK. Carol loved to travel, traveling all over the United States and abroad to such countries as Germany, New Zealand and Fuji. But her true love was Australia. She traveled to Australia as many as six times, sometimes for months at a time.
Some of Carol's greatest accomplishments were being a certified Medical Technologist for over 50 years. She loved to read and collect magnets and postcards from her many travels. She also loved to research her families genealogy.
