Carol Anne Fosburg

Age 73, of Lansing, passed away August 7, 2025. She was born October 25, 1951 in Lansing to the late Howard and Helen Stanton.

Carol started her career at MSU in 1969, and retired in 2020 from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. She was a strong Spartan, and also loved both the Detroit Lions and Tigers. In her free time Carol was an avid bowler, bowling in several leagues and tournaments across the country.

On August 18, 1973 she married Dennis Fosburg, both Denny and Carol share the same birthdate, which was “fun” when they got married and throughout the years, with many people “questioning” if they had made a mistake!  Carol is also survived by her children Matthew (Jenna) Fosburg, and Jessica (Nathan) Lindsay; 5 grandbabies whom she adored: Jackson Fosburg, Maurice Fosburg, Grace Lindsay, Emma Lindsay, and Kayla Lindsay; sisters Debra (Stewart) Powell, and Betsy Stanton.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers: Howard “Skip” (Ellen) Stanton, Robert “Bobby” Stanton, and a sister Pat Stanton.

Carol had dementia, and through the illness there have been some people the family would like to thank. Thank you to Krystal Cupp, Carol’s longtime friend, Krystal and Carol were weekend shopping partners, craft show partners and bowling partners, she was dedicated to Carol, and was by her side for the past year or more, offering help and aid whenever she could. Thank you also to Independence Village, Corso Care for their service and care for Carol.
