MADISON - Carole A. Kleinfeldt, age 76, of Madison, passed away on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at Oak Park Place. She was born on March 13, 1950, in Chisholm, Minn., the daughter of Frank and Catherine (Vitali) Chiodi.

Carole graduated from Chisholm High School in 1968 and earned a food science degree from St. Catherine's University, in St. Paul, MN, in 1972. She married Warren Kleinfeldt on August 18, 1973, in Chisholm, MN.

Carole was a loving wife, mother and Nona and her faith was the center of her life. She was an active member of St. Dennis Catholic Church and the Red Hat Ladies, where she generously volunteered her time and talent over the years. She also treasured time spent with friends in card club and enjoyed traveling with loved ones.

Carole found joy in many interests and hobbies. She loved sewing, attending theater productions, singing alto and reading mystery novels. Yellow was her favorite color, and she especially loved sunflowers and yellow daffodils, which reflected her bright and cheerful spirit.
