Carrie Sue loved the Lord Jesus, first and foremost, and sought to serve him in all her life pursuits. She was a loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother while always being present and rooting for them in their various life endeavors. These were a few of her favorite things: family, extended family reunions along with family history, friendship, music, crafting, quilting along with the simple beauty of nature.
These were some of her most endearing traits: Love, Faithfulness, and Passion. If you were her friend, you were a friend for life! She was one to persevere and never give up. If you were in a battle, you'd definitely want her on your side! She was a faithful prayer warrior for family, friends, and strangers.
