In Carrie’s high school years, she loved reading and writing poetry and continued throughout her adulthood. Carrie’s true talent came out when she started cosmetology school her junior year in high school. If you ever had sat in Carrie’s chair, she had a wonderful eye for knowing what style, color and cut would look good on you and how to brighten your day, no matter what kind of day you were having. She was not only one of the best hair stylists, she was your very own therapist for the time you were with her. She was great at listening to you and never judging. Carrie was a strong independent single mother to her beautiful son Aden, whom she adored with all her heart and would do anything for.

She will be deeply missed by her three wonderful nephews, Michael, Mason and Mitchel and her beautiful niece Madisen.

Carrie stole all her friend’s hearts with her infectious laugh and made all of them feel like family when she was around.
