Carrie will be remembered for her kind and joyful spirit, her twinkling blue eyes and deep love for family and friends.  She had many wonderful memories of time spent at Lake Bull Shoals with family and friends, as well as hunting/fishing and traveling.  She enjoyed reading novels, doing crossword puzzles, crocheting, and playing all types of card/board games.

Despite her illness she lived life fully and did not complain.  She cared more about how someone else was feeling than herself.
