Carrie lived a life full of adventure and was a very active member of her community. She enjoyed camping with her family, playing cards, watching westerns and Young and the Restless, and, of course, scratching tickets and evenings out at bingo.

“I don’t have to think about it
A world without you is not what I want
And still you must leave and I don’t like it
But I’ll never forget how much I was loved.”
