In Loving Memory of Carol Alice Selleseth
October 10, 1936 - April 4, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother—affectionately known as GG. Carol Alice Selleseth passed away peacefully on April 4, 2025, at the age of 88.
Born on October 10, 1936, in Stockton, CA, Carol moved to Lodi in 1965, where she built a life rooted in compassion, strength, and unwavering love for her family.
In her younger years, Carol was an avid bowler. She loved traveling with her bowling team and her devoted husband, Keith—the love of her life—creating memories that she cherished throughout her life. Her love for travel extended beyond bowling; she enjoyed many cruises and trips with Keith and close friends.
Carol dedicated 41 years to San Joaquin Lumber Company in Stockton, CA, serving as a bookkeeper and office manager until her retirement. She was also a faithful member of the choir at First United Methodist Church, where she formed lasting friendships and travel companions.
Carol was a devoted mother to her children: Richard Selleseth, Jennifer Garcia, Renee Golden (Gary), and Dana Woltkamp. She was a proud and cherished grandmother to Brandon Golden, Michelle Faul (Jeff), Jillian Wagers, Lisa Nunez (Nick), Ashley Thomson (Scott), Kimberly Jorgensen (Kraig), Nicole McCabe (James), Kristen Reisinger (Andrew), and Gregg Stevens (Faith), and a loving great-grandmother to 17 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Keith Selleseth, her parents Elsie and Earl Hurd Sr., and her brother Earl Hurd Jr.
Graveside services will be held privately. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.
Memorial Services will be held at First United Methodist Church, Lodi on Friday, May 9th at 11:00 am
Carol’s deep love and compassion will never be forgotten. Her presence will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
