Alice Carlson
July 3, 1924 — November 19, 2015
Alice Carlson, 91, Evansville, Minnesota died Thursday, November 19, 2015, at her home under the care of her family & Douglas County Hospice.
Alice Mary Carlson was born on July 3, 1924, in Leaf Mountain Township, the daughter of Leo and Sally (Wargin) Gluba. She was baptized and confirmed in Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Millerville and attended Rural School in Leaf Mountain Township. As a young lady she helped her Mom on the farm and worked for Miller's Store in Millerville.
In 1948, Alice moved to Evansville and in 1953, moved into her present home. Alice was a homemaker, and had two children, Monty and Holli. Alice had a love of gardening, and her magical touch with plants was reflected in her beautiful flower gardens and abundant vegetable gardens. She shared her love of gardening with Monty, helping him transplant seedlings in his greenhouse. She liked canning the produce from her gardens and making jelly. Her interests included reading, crossword puzzles, watching birds, and collecting angels. She enjoyed playing cards with friends and family as well as her daily games of solitaire. Alice loved sharing her beautiful handmade crocheted and knitted items with family and friends and was known for her hand-made washcloths. She was quick witted and she made sure her candy dish was always full to share with visitors. Alice was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church, and over the years was involved in teaching Sunday School, Bible Studies, and Faith Women.
She is survived by two children, Monty (Julie) Carlson of Evansville and Holli Carlson of Evansville; sister, Jeanne Gluba of Yorba Linda, CA; and by numerous relatives and friends. Alice is preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Cordella Gluba; and by two brothers, Arnold and Jim Gluba.
