For 41 years, Carrie dedicated herself to her work as a Fleet Coordinator at Allstate Insurance, retiring in 2022.
Carrie found happiness in weekly bingo, trips to the casino, her cherished angel collection, and the warmth of family and friend gatherings. She loved to sew, to cook, and to share both her time and her heart.
Carrie is lovingly remembered by her siblings: Robert (Joy) Simek, Richard (Antoinette) Simek, and Nancy (Terry) Wojcik. She also leaves behind 8 nieces and nephews, and 15 great-nieces and great-nephews, who will all miss her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Margaret Simek, and her sister, Patricia (Ronald) Manno.
Carrie's memory will be held close by all those who knew her.
