Carol Margaret Qualman

Carol Margaret Qualman, 82, of Mountain Home, Idaho, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2026, after a long battle with cancer.

Born in Nampa, Idaho, to Dallas and Margaret Qualman, Carol grew up with a deep love for horses and all animals. She competed in rodeos for Boise College Roundup and served as a general rodeo director. Carol graduated from Nampa High School and went on to continue her education at Boise Junior College (AS and BAEd - History), Boise State University (BSW), Fort Wright College of the Holy Names (MA Education) and Eastern Washington University (MSW). She spent her career working all over the State of Idaho as a social worker in multiple capacities.

After retiring, Carol moved to Mountain Home where she was able to live out her dream of caring for and rescuing animals - horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats, chickens, guinea fowl, one dog and lots of cats. She loved each and every one of them very much.

Carol is survived by her brother, Ronald, and a large extended family including nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Carl and Vernon.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026 at 12:30 pm at Dry Creek Cemetery (9600 W. Hill Rd., Boise). In honor of Carol’s love for everything sweet, an ice cream social will follow at River City Church (7540 W. Northview St., Boise).

Arrangements are under the direction of Bowman Funeral Parlor of Garden City.
