Carol L. Vargas

Carol Louise Vargas was born August 16, 1955 at St. Catherine’s Hospital in Omaha, NE. She was preceded in death by her father: Adolph Fedde; her mother: Mary Ann Fedde; and her beloved dog: Tater. She is survived by her husband of 41 years: Bob. She is also survived by her brother: Rod (Connie) Fedde; nephew: Jeremy (Calley) Fedde; nieces: Megan (Jonathon) Vos and Becky (Jeff) Swope; great-nephews: Porter and Macklin Fedde and Baylor Voss; and her dogs: TJ and Brody.

Carol was raised on a farm by Ashland, NE and moved to Gretna, where she graduated high school and went on to cosmetology school. She owned and operated Cort Salon, in Gretna, for 43 years. She married Bob Vargas in Gretna, on August 25, 1984.

Carol loved to have fun and have a good time whether it was going for country drives, having a beer, playing Keno, dancing, or going to the casino.

She and Bob loved to travel. They went to beaches, visited lighthouses eating seafood (especially lobster). She wanted to go wherever Guy Fieri went. She loved shopping, decorating for Christmas, and going to Disneyland. Some places they traveled to were: Florida, Oregon, Maine, Las Vegas, Sturgis, South Dakota, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

She has many special life-long friends and is partying up there in Heaven with those who went before her. Her laughter and giggles will be remembered by many and she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
