Carrie Prebich Obituary

Carrie Lynn Prebich, 61, of Carbondale passed away Sunday at Regional Hospital of Scranton. Her husband and best friend of 33 years is Robert J. Bendersky.

Born in Carbondale, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Sonia White Gray. Carrie loved her family and most referred to her as "mamabear". Perhaps what she will be remembered for most is her unconditional love, incredible garden, and passion for taking care of animals.

Surviving are her four children, Joseph Prebich, Clarion; Kyle Atkinson, Millbrook, Ala.; Nicole Ryan, Gilbert, Ariz.; Bobby Joe Bendersky, South Abington Twp.; and seven grandchildren, Emma, Kyler, Brody, Kage, Autumn, Jack and Lennon Rose.

A celebration of her life will be held at SS. Peter and Paul Parish Hall, located at 4 Doris Ave., Simpson, PA 18407, Saturday at 4 p.m.

Arrangements are by the Joseph W. Scotchlas Funeral Home Inc., Simpson. For condolences, visit www.scotchlasfuneralhome.com.
