Carrie had an amazing spirit that connected with everyone she met. Carrie loved having family and friends over to eat, laugh, have a Budweiser while listening to oldies and dancing! When she laughed really hard her cheeks would turn red and tears would stream down her cheeks.
Carrie is loved by all and will be dearly missed.
