Carries was a devoted wife and dedicated mother with unconditional love for her children. As adults, she still treated us like we were still her babies. She loved cooking, sewing, knitting, crocheting, reupholstering furniture, and spending quality time with her family. The joy of cooking was her favorite service to bless her husband, children, other family members, and friends. Her meals were prepared from scratch with a pinch of love, a cup of affection, and bowl of happiness. Carrie’s cinnamon rolls from scratch could stop a charging bull.

Carrie was a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church where she served on the Kitchen Ministry for several years. She worked as a Nurses Aide serving several households in the Johnstown area and a sales clerk as WT Grants until she retired. After retiring, Carrie attended Hiram G. Andrews Center where she received a diploma in the upholstery program. She was the true meaning of love and the food to our souls. She will be deeply missed by her family.
