She found true happiness late in life marrying Leland Brown on September 30, 2006. Carmen was a public accountant in Woodward until moving to Canton, Oklahoma, in the early 1980s. In Canton, she opened a gift shop called Carmen's of Canton. Later she added a pharmacy to the gift shop. Carmen was an active member of the Senior Citizens and Longdale Community Church.
