Carole A. Haugen, 73, Moorhead, MN, passed away peacefully Tuesday August 7, 2012, at Eventide Lutheran Home, Moorhead, after her four month battle with cancer.
Carole Ann Wittig was born December 19, 1938, in Jamestown, ND, to Willis and Everyl (Piepkorn) Wittig. Carole was an assistant occupational therapist for many years at St. Luke's Hospital, Fargo, ND. In a career shift, she went to American Crystal Sugar Company, Moorhead, where she worked until she retired.
Carole loved good food and socializing. She enjoyed all kinds of sports but one of her favorites was the Minnesota Twins. She was a woman on the go and wasted no time in making each day count. She had an attitude that could light up a room.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Willis & Everyl Wittig; her first husband, Robert Koth; her second husband, Clayton Haugen; and her brother, Jerry Wittig.
