                   Carrie was raised by her paternal Grandparents since her mother died of
childbed fever a few days after her birth.

Carrie has devoted her life to her family.  She is a very nurturing and devoted
mother and grandmother.  She is very skilled in homemaking arts particularly
hand work and quilting.  She has given each of her 29 grandchildren a hand done
quilt at the time of their marriage and continues to provide a hand made quilt
to each new great child as it arrives.  at this time (May 1996) there are 50
great grandchildren.

Carrie is a woman of great devotion and faith.  She has served faithfully in
church callings through the years and has taught her family to to likewise.

Carrie passed away in January 2003 at the age of 95. She died from  the spread of Breast Cancer that was first treated by surgery and Tamoxafin in 1994.  She was cancer free until Spring 2001 when she had further surgery for recurrence in an axillary node.  by fall 2001 it had spread into her neck and she underwent radiation therapy.  This took a real toll on her energy at 94 years of age but she bounced back and was soon doing her daily walking for exercise and continuing in her church service as secretary of the Relief Society at the retirement center where she lived.  By late sumer 0f 2002 she was suffering constant nausea which grew progressively worse.  She determined to quit fighting and started looking forward to the reunion with loved ones on the other side of the vail.  She lived alone and managed her own affairs until the first of December when she came to live at the home of Julianne and Maurice.  She was there only 5 weeks with home hospice providing medical support.  Until the last 3 days she was alert and able to communicate with her 4 children who gathered to spend this last time with her.  It was a precious time.  It was a bonding time for all of us particulatly the two Pats, the newest members of  her immediate family.
