Carmell Ann Fadden

Carmell Ann Fadden, age 78, passed away on November 3, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on September 16, 1948, in Waseca, Minnesota, to Casper and Elaine (Strand) Munson. She married John Edward Fadden on May 15, 1968, and they shared 43 wonderful years together until his passing in 2011.

Carmell had a love for life and a way of making every gathering more special. She enjoyed dancing, singing, participating in her church choir, and was often the life of the party. She loved hosting parties for family and friends, and having her family over for Sunday dinners.

Her family meant everything to her, and she rarely missed an event for her grandchildren.

She had a strong work ethic, a wonderful sense of humor, and a gift for bringing people together. She was proud to have started the “Chicks of 66”.

Carmell is survived by her children, Christina Fadden, Garrison (Caitlin Isham) Jennifer (Troy) Zimmermann, Nicholas (Maritza) Fadden, and Anthony (Jordan Human) Fadden; her mother, Elaine Munson; her siblings, Van (Laura) Munson, Kathryn (Leonard) Carter, Steven (Diane) Munson and Jon Munson; her grandchildren Amanda, Benjamin, Cameron, Danielle, Thomas, Malcolm, Josephine, Jacob, Hannah, Shelby and Gavin.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John Fadden; and her father, Casper Munson.
