Carl W. Albers was born on June 18, 1914 in Wolsey, SD to August and Ida (Werth) Albers. At the age of six, Carl moved with his family to Seneca. He was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran faith and received his education in the Elroy and Latham schools.
On March 27, 1938, he married Delilah Buechler of Seneca. They resided Northeast of Seneca until the spring of 1944 when they purchased the Bill Hagenlock farm where they farmed and raised their two children, Bill and Bonnie. During that time Carl and William Buechler started the Westside 4-H club whereas Carl was a leader for 15 years. He also served on the Crop Improvement board for over 30 years and the Weed board for 20 years. Carl was also very active in St. Paul’s Lutheran church in Seneca serving on various boards throughout his life. Carl and Delilah were very active in organizing the Senior Citizens and purchasing the Senedak Center serving as the chairman for two years.
In 1985, they retired from farm life and purchased a new house and moved into Seneca. For many years, Carl & Delilah enjoyed spending the winters with their daughter, Bonnie and her family in Florida and the summers back in Seneca until poor health forced them to move into the Faulkton Healthcare Center in April of 2005.
Carl is survived by his two children, Bill (Jan) of Minneapolis, MN and Bonnie (Charles) Mason of Ocala, Florida; three grandchildren: Todd (Julie) Deuter of Florida, Brian (Susan) of Minneapolis and Melanie Korsgren of Minneapolis; four great grandchildren: Cody of Florida and Matthew, Evan and Olivia from Minneapolis; two sisters, Sophia (Finn) Dalquist of Gettysburg and Louise Vail of Sioux Falls and two very caring, kind, compassionate and special ladies, Isabelle Beckler and Shirley Greiner who assisted in caring for both of them when their health started failing. He will also be missed by his Faulkton Heath care family, friends and relatives.
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife Delilah, his parents, one son; one brother and one sister.
Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton has been entrusted with Carl's arrangements.
