Carol V. Stevens

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31. Carol V. Stevens, 94, of Lexington, passed away late Monday evening, April 4, 2016, at Lexington Court Care Center. She was born December 25, 1921, in Minnesota to the late Oscar and Christine (Lund) Prestguard.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry V. Stevens; parents; and sister, Mildred Vang.
