Carmen Marilla (Boes) Munday, 65, of Springfield, Missouri, passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior on October 7, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on May 12, 1960, in Jefferson City, Missouri, Carmen grew up in the close-knit community of Rich Fountain, where her faith, family, and values took deep root. She graduated from Drury College, where she met the love of her life, Bervis Munday. The two shared a decades-spanning marriage, grounded in love, that flourished with laughter and faith.

Carmen was the proud mother of Shaun (Rachel) Munday and Scott (Kelsey) Munday, and a devoted grandmother to Mara and Graham, who were her greatest joy. She poured her heart into her family, creating a home filled with warmth, grace, and music.

Known for her kindness, humor, steadfast faith, and gentle spirit, Carmen lived her life as an example of God's love. Whether through a listening ear, a handwritten note, or a song, she made those around her feel truly loved.

Carmen's legacy will continue in the lives she touched, the faith she modeled, and the family she cherished.

A celebration of Carmen's life will be held 3:00 pm Sunday, October 19, 2025 at Hillcrest Presbyterian Church, with visitation beginning at 2:00 pm. Burial ceremony will be 10:00 am Monday, October 20, 2025 at Hazelwood Cemetery. Online condolences may be left at www.gormanscharpf.com
