Carrie aka Care Bear loved life. She was a beautiful soul and loved her kids. Carrie loved to clean, as crazy as that sounds, to most of us. She cleaned apartments for Realtors and private homes as well. Carrie also worked for many years, as a Receptionist, in the Omaha area.
To sum it all up, she loved dancing, especially with her kids. She loved being silly and bragged about not having one mean bone in her body.
Memorial Service will be held at 4:00 PM at Hoy Kilnoski Funeral Home on Thursday, November 14, 2024 with visitation the hour prior to the service, which is also Carrie's birthday.
