Carrie was a very special person; she was "Aunt Carrie" to many and was a best friend to everyone else who knew her.

She was one of the greatest cooks in the country. She would always be the first to bring food for whatever the occasion. To her nieces and nephews, she was considered the champion pie maker. Coconut cream and Syrup pies were her specialty.

She was faithful to give special attention to those in the hospital. She showered them with cards, flowers and gifts. Not only did she cater to those in the hospital, she also acknowledged many other occasions as well.

Carrie's greatest form of entertainment was a good game of 42. She was very competitive and hard to beat.

For everyone who knew Carrie, she will be greatly missed. She was one of the BEST.

She was a member of the Cheyenne First Baptist Church.

Services were held Friday, April 28, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. at Cheyenne First Baptist Church, officiated by Milton Gage and Terrell Romberg.
