One of her favorite memories was traveling with the senior H.S. band to play in the Florida Orange Bowl. She enjoyed friendships, rock music of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and even Johnny Cash, she also loved MTV. Carrie was a light in the room when visiting with her aunts and uncles.

Her family grew with Carl’s son Collin, and Calvin was then born in 2016. Carrie had a real love of animals including her past dog Zoey, and recently her dog Miles and cat Henry. She loved traveling around Michigan, enjoying the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Oscoda and the Upper Peninsula’s cool weather.

She worked many years as a Vet Tech, then worked at the Powerhouse Gym, and finally landed at Trademark Property Solutions where she enjoyed real estate & property management.
Carrie was always looking out for others and making sure everyone’s needs were taken care of. She was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Carrie never asked for help and didn’t want to be a burden on anyone, no matter how much she was struggling. Her beautiful soul will always be watching over us.
As we celebrate her life, we are genuinely touched to see how many people have always been there to love and support her. We wish she could be here to see it with us, but I know she can still see us all and can be at peace.
Carrie’s legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched, the memories shared, and the love that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at noon on Saturday, March 2, 2024, at the Oakwood Chapel, 2750 N. Baldwin Rd in Oxford, MI 48371. May we all find comfort in the cherished memories and the enduring love we hold for Carrie.
