Carolyn Isabelle Erickson was born October 23, 1931, to Johan and Olga (Anderson) Erickson in Minneapolis, MN. She attended Corcoran Elementary School and Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, graduating in 1949. After high school, Carolyn attended the University of MN, earning a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics in 1953. She later attended Loyola University and Chicago University, earning a Master's Degree in Education, and NDSU, earning a Master's Degree in Child Development and Family Relations.

On Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1970, Carolyn joyfully married George Sund at First Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls. They lived happily for many years on their farm in Buse Township.

She worked at Northern States Power, Quaker Oats Company Test Kitchen, Doris Anderson Sewing School, Chicago Elementary, Fergus Falls Public Schools, and North Dakota State University.

Carolyn loved Jesus, George, her parents, her family and friends, her church, and teaching children. She enjoyed reading both fiction and non-fiction books and traveling here and abroad. Her travels included multiple trips to Europe throughout her life, with a sweet spot for her family's homeland, Sweden. She and George had many adventures traveling in their RV, which eventually became part of their regular home in Alamo, Texas during Minnesota winters.

Carolyn is survived by her sister-in-law, Helen Bunkowske, cousins, nieces and nephews and their families, and many dear friends.
