Read More	Carol Graham Brue, 63, of Alvarado, MN, died Thursday morning, July 20, in her home. Carol Chapman was born March 1, 1943, in Vermillion, SD, the daughter of Warren and Ellen Chapman. The family, including a brother and sister, farmed for several years before moving to to Kenmare, ND, where Carol attended grade school and high school. She married David Eckberg, of Kenmare, in August 1961 and moved to Grand Forks, ND. They had two children, Cindy, in 1962, and Thea, in 1966. The family moved to North Carolina, and the couple later divorced. Carol and her daughters returned to North Dakota and lived briefly in Fargo before coming in 1972 to Grand Forks, where she took work at the Grand Forks Herald as a switchboard operator and receptionist. She moved soon after to the newsroom. She remarried briefly in the 1970s to Michael Graham. Carol married Mike Brue, of Alvarado, on Sept. 13, 2003, in Osakis, Minn., culminating a long companionship that began two decades earlier as Herald co-workers and friends. She retired on Dec. 31, 2005, after 33 1/2 years at the newspaper. In a Herald column about the event, Carols husband described her lengthy service: Even in coordinating the Herald's arts and entertainment coverage in recent years, Carol never supervised anyone but herself. . . . Carol refers to herself as one of the "worker bees" -- someone who puts in an honest day's work and tries every day to do as well as she can under the circumstances presented. She understands and respects the worker bee's importance. She takes great pride in it. . . . Carol typed numerous announcements for births, engagements and weddings. She typed thousands of obituaries, and wrote some feature obits, too. She wrote news and feature briefs about everything from government meetings to club and organizational news. Little stuff usually found somewhere on an inside or back page. Real big stuff to the people it impacts. When her byline did appear on stories over the years, Carol reported on the passions of people ranging from hobbyists to artists to entertainers...Her work could be trusted. It was useful. Easy to use. She wrote about people like us. In January, Carol received the North Valley Arts Councils first Career Award for exceptional media coverage of the arts. Carol was straightforward and heartfelt. She regularly told people --loved ones to complete strangers -- how much she appreciated them or their efforts. Carol loved being a grandparent and watching her children raise them. She became an accomplished quilter, and liked to experiment with new recipes while cooking or baking. Carol enjoyed the outdoors, regularly walking, frequently gardening and for many years camping and hiking. She loved the adventure of spur-of-the moment traveling on trips long and short. She enjoyed the company of her cats. She attended the efforts of the local arts and entertainment scene in addition to covering those events. Carol liked watching films and documentaries. Carol battled cancer multiple times since 2002, becoming an effective personal and public advocate for the local American Cancer Society Relay For Life events and serving as an honorary chairman. Survivors include her husband; daughter Cindy Dudley and her fiance Tim Weatherington, of Vanceboro, N.C.; daughter Thea (Jon) Blaufuss, of Nampa, Idaho; three grandchildren,Jenna Dudley and David and John Kurtis Blaufuss; brother Ken (Dianne) Chapman, of Kenmare; and sister Charolette (Art) Wanner, of Dickinson, N.D. Her mother, Ellen, of Kenmare, also survives. Carol was preceded in death by her father, Warren.
