She always had a beautiful smile for all and her love extended to family, friends and all who knew her. Her love of animals is evidenced by her dog, Duke, four cats and any stray animal that needed a home. A special thank-you to Dr. D'Spain, Dr. Rheams, Dr. Oseni, the nurses in ICU at Weatherford Regional Medical Center and Covenant Hospice. Carla was preceded in death by her dad, Carlin Gamblin.

I only met Carla once many years ago but I often heard Cindy speak of her. Cindy always said what a loving and giving person Carla was. Surely she is walking with the Lord

The best sister a girl could ask for, always the one that stood out and had the brightest smile and the biggest heart. We all shared the love of our pets and consider them our family. We both have been blessed with the greatest Mom and although we were so different we both got The best parts of her. Give Dad a big hug and kiss for me, love you both until we all come home......
