Caroline J. Natwick
Jan. 2, 1932 – Dec. 31, 2019
Caroline J. Natwick was
born on January 2, 1932 to
Olaf and Anna (Pederson)
Holen in Upham, North
Dakota. She died at the
age of 87 years on Tues-
day, December 31, 2019 at
Trinity Homes in Minot,
North Dakota.
Caroline was the only
girl in a family of six boys
and was adored by her
brothers. She grew up in
the Upham area, graduat-
ing from Upham high
school in 1950. Caroline
married Dale Natwick on
November 6, 1950 and
they raised their children
on a ranch south of Town-
er. She was a devoted
mom and wife who was
an incredible cook and
baker. She patiently tried
to teach her family to
make her famous lefse
and carrot and pea salad,
which no one could quite
replicate! After her chil-
dren were grown and liv-
ing on their own, she
started her new life in
Towner. Caroline enjoyed
quilting and spent time at
the church making quilts
for families in need. Be-
ing a talented artist, she
also enjoyed wood work-
ing, furniture refinishing,
ceramics, knitting and
crocheting. She loved
gardening and was also a
beekeeper with her niece,
Mary Holen. Caroline
went to work for her
brother, Morris Holen
Construction for twenty
years. Her children talked
her into retiring, but that
didn’t last long and she
went to work at Towner
State Nursery until her
mid-80’s. She had a
strong work ethic that we
could all strive to achieve.
Most importantly to Caro-
line was her family. She
was patient, compas-
sionate and accepting.
She found great joy in
watching her grandchil-
dren through their life’s
journey and was very
proud of all of their ac-
complishments.
Caroline is survived
and held in loving
memory by four children,
Connie (Rick) Irey of Lake
Metigoshe, Mark (Penny)
Natwick of Bismarck, Teri
(Randy) Dosch of
Karlsruhe and Marci
(Myron) Gefroh of Minot;
six grandchildren, Anne
Haskins, Garitt Irey,
Nathan Natwick, Lindsey
Presser, Ashley Wallner
and Ethan Gefroh; ten
great grandchildren; three
step grandchildren, Pa-
trick Irey, Aaron Irey and
Jason Irey; a brother Alvin
(Carol) Holen of Minot;
nieces, nephews; other re-
latives and friends. She
was preceded in death by
her daughter, Candice
Ann, who died as a child;
Dale Natwick; brothers,
Oliver, Glen, Morris, Irvin
and Orrin Holen.
Written by Caroline’s
oldest grandchild, Anne,
and perfectly describes
her:
The strong ones, often
they are the quiet ones.
The ones with a solemn
reserve. The pillars. The
sturdy. The ones who
hold others up, without
acclaim, with no recogni-
tion or fanfare. The ones
who go the extra mile.
The humble, the heroic.
The ones who hold their
joy and suffering in
silence, who bear the
weight of the world. They
are the fiercest, the gritti-
est, the most beautiful.
Filled with unspoken
valor, faith, and the
deepest love. They are the
brave ones, the great ones.
The quietly bold.
Per Caroline’s wishes,
there will be a private
family service that will
take place in the spring
with burial in the Bloom-
field Cemetery, Upham.
