Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Carlie Elizabeth Greenwood came into this world with a smile on her face on June 9, 1999 to Charisma Lo and Henry (Hank) Greenwood in Overland Park, KS. She passed away peacefully on July 10, 2021 at St. Luke’s North Hospital surrounded by family. Carlie showed the world from day one what a bright, energetic and loving person she was, bringing endless joy to her parents and family.
Possessing a curious and spontaneous spirit, Carlie enjoyed jumping headfirst into many activities in her youth including volleyball, dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading. She excelled at those activities which suited her strength and boundless energy, yet always sought the next adventure and hill to climb.
An early interest in becoming a doctor blossomed into a life-long pursuit of caring for others. While attending Blue Valley West High School, she enrolled in the CAPS Medical Program to begin her medical education. In the years following graduation, Carlie accepted an opportunity in the medical field as a certified nursing assistant at Overland Park Regional Hospital and worked during the COVID pandemic. The long hours and challenging environment only served to further fuel her interest in nursing, prompting her to begin pursuing a nursing degree at Johnson County Community College. Carlie was working fulltime as a Healthcare Recruiter at Krucial Staffing while continuing her education.
Carlie will be forever missed by her mother Charisma Lo, father Hank Greenwood, sister Chayne Greenwood, grandparents Sue Lo and Len Sacks (deceased), Peter and Judy Lo, Beth and Henry Greenwood, aunts and uncles Dr. Asia Lo and Mark Bowerman, Trent and Sandra Lo, Charles Greenwood, Johnnie Sullivan, Hope and Johnny Harrison, David and Dawn Greenwood along with her numerous cousins, Dylan and Jackson Bowerman, Ryla and Dade Lo, Ashley Greenwood, Steven and Dustin Wade, CJ and Kyle Harrison, Josh Greenwood, her extended family, many friends, and Carlie’s beloved cat, Scarlet.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, July 17, 2021 at Church of the Resurrection, 5009 W 137th St, Leawood, KS 66224 from 11:00 am until 12:00 pm with the Celebration of Carlie’s Life immediately following from 12:00 pm until 1:00 pm.

Carlie’s Poem
Your whispers woven in the breeze
Your love laced in the sun‘s rays with ease
Wherever we go you are near
There is no longer anything to fear
Your strength surrounds us from each mountain top
Your energy ethereal as it lingers in every ocean drop
No matter where we are
You are never far
So this is not goodbye
As your eternal spirit dazzles in the night sky
– Chayne G.

I won’t even begin to try find words to express my feelings. Sometimes with words you come up short. So I will communicate in spiritually knowing that what i feel can only be felt this way. Condolences are for those left behind and i want you Carlie to know how much we love you and will miss you. Our families were brought together through years of unbelievable events. So stay in touch with us as there is a bridge we can’t see but we can cross.

Carlie is by far the bravest and most intelligent girl I’ve had the pleasure of calling my friend. Her laugh will ring in my mind forever. Her beautiful, contagious smile is all I can think about. She loves your family more than anything in this world. I’m so blessed to have had her in my life and as my best friend. I’ll keep my memories with her close to my heart forever.
Although i only knew Chayne from school and didn’t know Carlie, I offer my condolences to the Greenwood family, extended family, and friends of Carlie. May you all find the strength to live your lives to the fullest and make Carlie proud in heaven <3
Carlie touched the lives of every person she met. Her contagious laugh and smile never failed to light up a room. Her love for her family and friends around her was such a joy to whiteness. Sending all of my love and strength to her family during this time.
I remember Carlie from her Lakewood Middle School years as a beautiful young girl with a sweet heart.
My deepest sympathy to her loving family.
