Carrie was a dedicated daughter, wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend. She treasured family and embraced every moment with them. She was an excellent cook and always made room at her table. Carrie had a strong work ethic and even into her later years it was difficult to keep up with her pace. Making pies was something that gave her great pleasure and she shared these with family, friends, and neighbors as a symbol of her love. Carrie enjoyed plants and gardening, making jams and jellies, and had a special passion for quilting. She belonged to the Laporte quilters group for over 20 years where she made lasting friendships and it provided her endless hours of enjoyment.

Special thanks to nieces Sherry Craney and Marilyn Resch who gave her extra care and attention. The family would also like to thank the exceptional staff of Eatonia Oasis Living, of Eatonia Home Care, and Delia Massey for their kindness, compassion, and professionalism.
