Obituary Preview: Potosi, Wisconsin

Carol J. Kruser 75, of Potosi, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at MercyOne in Dubuque, Iowa, on Saturday, April 6, 2024, surrounded by her family after a brief illness. She fought a courageous fight and through it all she never lost her humor and her sweetness. A celebration of her life will be held Friday, May 10, 2024, from 6-9:00 p.m. at the Holiday Gardens in Potosi, Wisconsin. Casey-McNett Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Cuba City is assisting the family.

Carol was born on September 2, 1948, in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, to Norman and Dorothy (Butteris) Johnson. Carol married the love of her life, Randall (Randy) Kruser, on May 23, 1970, at St. Andrew Catholic Church.

After retiring from The Insurance Center, Randy and Carol enjoyed their "Kruser Kingdom" by planting flowers, gardening, and attending to their apple trees, vineyards, and raspberry bushes. Carol would make her famous tomato juice, and she enjoyed watching the deer, turkeys, and all the different birds. She taught her grandchildren the skill of making Lefse. Carol enjoyed pontoon rides, fishing, and side-by-side rides with Randy to tour their property with a cold Coors Light. Her friends would describe her as a free-loving spirit, with their weekly trips to the Mexican restaurant for their "group therapy" margaritas. Carol never knew a stranger and was considered a social butterfly. She enjoyed her daily calls with family and friends. She was always up for anything.

Most of all Carol enjoyed her grandchildren and attending all their sporting and school events. She never wanted to miss any football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer or volleyball games. She left her grandchildren with many memories of their time spent staying at the Kruser Kingdom. Grandma always spoiled them and always made sure she had special treats. She loved their visits especially during deer hunting season and couldn't wait to learn if they got one.

Carol was so proud of her Veteran and was so excited when the Kruser boys took the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. last year.

It's hard to sum up Carol's life but simply put, family was everything and her laugh will never be forgotten.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 53 years, Randy Kruser of Potosi; her two children, Mindla (Jerry) White of Altoona, IA, and Chad (Tatum) Kruser of Cuba City, WI; her six grandchildren who were her pride and joy, Oskar, Everett and Alexandra White, all of Altoona IA, and Ella, Henry and Josie Kruser, all of Cuba City, WI; her two brothers, David Johnson and Norman Johnson, Jr.; her two sisters, Sharon (Al) Wheeler and her twin Carla Johnson; her in-laws, John, Wayne (Betty) Kruser, Mert Kruser, Elaine Groom, Bonnie (Bill) Hammel, Harvey (Mary) Kruser, Karen (Tom) Van Stedum, Gary (Ruth) Kruser, and Bruce (Donna) Kruser; two aunts, Diana Johnson and Brenda Johnson; and many special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Norman and Dorothy Johnson; her father-in-law and mother in-law, Henry and Stella Kruser; her brother, Dallas Johnson; her in-laws, Vernon (Bev) Kruser, Frances (Norma Jean) Kruser, Daniel (Rosie) Kruser, Darlene Kruser, Jane Kruser, Galen Kruser, Julius Kruser, David Groom and Shari Johnson.

The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the physicians, nurses, and staff at MercyOne Dubuque who provided remarkable and compassionate care to our beautiful mom.
