Carol Ramona Cummings, age 79, of Owatonna, went to be with our Lord on Friday, October 19, 2018, at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She was born December 8, 1938 in Austin, the daughter of Alvin H. Ulland and Evelyn Swenson. Carol attended Austin High School and then Austin Community College where she obtained her degree in nursing. She was a dedicated nurse at the Owatonna Hospital for 20 years. On December 15, 1956, Carol married her high school sweetheart, John Owen Cummings. For over 50 years they shared a passion for the game of bridge - a game that became a binding force in their marriage. She found great success, and held the title of Diamond Life Master. Through her local friends and the greater bridge community, Carol developed her deepest friendships, that would become a great comfort to her after John's passing. Carol was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, and she loved spending time with her family. She is survived by sons, Lynn (Jeanne) Cummings of Houston, TX, Bill (Janice) Cummings of Monticello, Clark (Cindy) Cummings of Midland, MI; grandchildren, James (Erin) Cummings, Stephanie (Tobi) Odejimi, Brandon, Logan, Wesley, and Caden Cummings, Julianna and Eleanor Cummings; great granddaughter, Evelyn Cummings; sister, Elaine Sievers; brother, Donald (Marlys) Ulland; brother in law, Nathan Goodwin; and numerous nieces and nephews.
