Carol Jean (Beyersdorf) Kruger

You are gone but not forgotten 

You will live forever in our hearts

On Thursday, November 14, 2024, Carol Jean (Beyersdorf) Kruger passed away peacefully at the age of 88.  Carol was the oldest of three children born to Walter and Minnie (Bethke) Beyersdorf on December 11, 1935.  

After graduation, Carol went on to study accounting at Michigan State University. While there she became a proud member of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority and played trumpet in the Michigan State Marching Band. Carol was a lifelong farmer and an avid supporter of the Saginaw County Fair, where she proudly displayed her flowers and antiques. In 2021 she was awarded a plaque in recognition of being an exhibitor for 70 years. A moment and honor she felt privileged. 

 Carol is survived by her son Christopher (Dawn) Kruger, her granddaughter Miranda Kruger, brothers Larry Beyersdorf and David (Anita) Beyersdorf.  

She was predeceased by her parents, Walter and Minnie Beyersdorf, and sister-in-law Marilyn Beyersdorf.
