Carl Rudolph
Wahlberg
April 11, 1924 - August 23, 2017
Dr. Carl Wahlberg passed
away August 23rd, at home,
surrounded by family. He was
93.
At his essence, Carl was an
educator. After moving to
Grand Junction more than 40
years ago, he was passionately
involved with Mesa’s
transformation from a community college to a state university.
Carl, however, insisted that his greatest accomplishments were
his family. He was married to Betty, the love of his life, for 68
years. Together, they raised two daughters, Debbie and Carla,
and a son, Mark. Carl loved watching his family expand, first
with two in-laws, and then with grandchildren, their wives and
husbands, and a great-grandchild as well.
He was a natural leader and an instrument of peace.
May you be happy,
May you be well,
May you live in peace,
And so it is.
He asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the
Grand Junction Center for Spiritual Living, or to HopeWest.
A celebration for Carl will be held on September 16th, 2017, at
10:00 a.m. at the Center For Spiritual Living, 251 Colorado Ave.
All are welcome.
