As one who rarely accepted anything as beyond her control, Carol set forth her wishes for her celebration of life prior to passing. Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 12, at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, Dubuque. Burial will be in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Epworth. Friends may call from 2 to 8 p.m. today at Reiff Funeral Home, Epworth, where there will be a prayer service at 7 p.m. She began her life on Feb. 17, 1942, in Monticello, daughter of her Irish father, Wilfred Kearney, and German mother, Mildred Kintzle. For reasons unexplained, Carol always felt the closest connection to the Irish in her. Those who knew her well often found themselves confronted with the truth of the old Irish proverb, "That which is closest to the heart is closest to the mouth." Carol spent her early years roaming the farm and timberland of Iowa, riding horses and bossing around her seven siblings. Six of those siblings, Gary Kearney, of Hazel Green, Wis., Shirley (George) Olberding, of Dyersville, Wayne (Sharon) Kearney, of Onslow, Rose (Barry) Cliff, of Dubuque, Lois (Bob) Klosterman, of Denver, and Deb (Jeff) Rahe, of Dubuque, survived her. Her youngest brother, Richard, preceded her in death, as did George. Carol ultimately snagged herself a steady, loving German husband, Lee. Lee's brothers, Frank (Joyce), of Bankston, Celester (Betty), Epworth, Jerome (Jean), of Cascade, and Loras (Lynn), of Dyersville, and sisters, Verna (Dennis Welte), of Sioux City, Marilyn (Pete Pirc), of Earlville, and Linda (Kirk Corbett), of Cedar Rapids, welcomed her with open arms. Betty, Lynn and Pete have preceded Carol in death. Carol and Lee raised five children, Kelly Larson, Ron Rausch, Greg Rausch, Karla Vaske and Ryan Rausch, aka "the golden child." While the "favored son" is a long-standing family joke, in truth, both Carol and Lee have loved and cherished all of their children in ways for which each one is forever grateful. One son, Randy, preceded Carol in death.
