Carrie was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who found joy in caring for her loved ones. She was renowned for her delightful fruit salad, savory okra gumbo, and heavenly blackberry pies. Sundays at her home were filled with laughter and love, as she gathered her family around the dinner table, pouring her heart into each meal. Her garden, abundant with beautiful flowers, was a reflection of her nurturing spirit.

Carrie's warmth and generosity were magnetic, drawing friends and family to her home, where everyone felt welcomed and cherished. Though she will be dearly missed, her legacy of love will continue to resonate in the hearts of those she touched.
