Carol Ruth Norling
Carol Ruth Norling, age 83. At peace after a valiant fight against cancer. She was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Ruth (nee Korn) Norling. She is survived by her cousin, William Schilling, a very extended family and many friends and neighbors. She was a proud graduate from Northwestern. She worked as a window dresser for Marshall Fields, but her passions were her cats, her garden and her art. She was a close friend and studio partner with Charles Vickery. A life-long LaGrange resident, she volunteered locally at the LaGrange Community Nurses Association Thrift Shop and the Historical Society.

I just learned of Carol's passing today.
Carol was my neighbor for several decades and actually used to baby sit me in the early fifties. I was amazed by her artwork which can be found in various locations around La Grange.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Very saddened to hear of Carol´s passing. She was a dear friend of my mother and family. Always remember her passion for Felix and Papparazzi her cats, amazing artistry skills and even love for the tortoise family that I take care of! She is home with the Lord now, hopefully painting more amazing pictures of ships at sea alongside her cats!
