Carol (Tamminen) Peterlin, 84, of Eveleth, took the hands of her parents, in her home on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020, after a courageous battle with dementia/Alzheimerâs.
She was born Dec. 29, 1935, to Ida and August Tamminen of Sparta. She married her high school sweetheart Albin (Gabe) Peterlin Jr. on July 29, 1953. Together they raised six children in their home in West Eveleth.
Carol was very talented at crafting. From ceramics, sewing, cross-stitch, sequin work and drawing she could do it all. She was also known as one of the best potica makers in the area, using an old family recipe. She sold most of it in and around the area but also in many other states. She was approached by The Vermont Country Store and asked to sell the recipe for use in their catalog, she declined, leaving it with her family.

The two used methods for detecting amyloid pathology in Alzheimer s disease do not give unambiguous results, with the risk of incorrect or delayed care interventions. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have found genetic explanations for the differences. The study is published in
Molecular Psychiatry and may be important for more individual diagnostics and the development of future drugs.
Alzheimer s disease is the most common dementia disease and leads to gradual memory loss and premature death. Approximately 120,000 people in Sweden have Alzheimer s and there are approximately 50 million people worldwide. According to Hjärnfonden, the number will increase by 70 percent in 50 years, partly because we are living longer and longer.
