Jane Evelyn (Carlstrom) Nuxoll

Jane Evelyn (Carlstrom) Nuxoll passed away on June 9, 2015, in Anchorage, Alaska, at age 88. Jane was born on Aug. 10, 1926, in Yellowstone County, to Lois Adelle (White) Carlstrom and Carl Herman Carlstrom, both deceased. Jane had one sister, Esther (Carlstrom) Eaton, deceased, and one brother, David Carlstrom. Jane had 12 nieces and nephews. Irene Messmer, her close friend since college and also her sister-in-law, is also grieving her death. Jane was an elementary school teacher, starting in a one-room school north of Shepherd, then teaching at Winnett, and finally teaching in Worden. She left teaching to marry Walter Nuxoll. Jane and Walt married on May 28, 1956. They ranched outside of Volborg for many years. Afterward, Jane and Walt retired to Worden, where Jane was a member of Rebekah Lodge #14, a board member of the Sunnyside Library in Worden and a board member of the Worden Seniors group. Jane and Walt had planned to honeymoon in Alaska; however, they were disappointed as the Al-Can highway was under construction and impassable at that time. Jane fulfilled this lifetime desire to visit Alaska when she joined four of her nieces on a trip to Anchorage this June. Jane passed away surrounded by the love of her family. She will be fondly remembered as a favorite aunt, sister and teacher. Remembrances may be shared with the family by visiting www.michelottisawyers.com.
