Carrie had many nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews that she loved dearly.

    We’ve lost a wonderfully awesome spirit in Carrie. My daughter, Brooke,
    Introduced me to Carrie 20 yrs ago
    And I was immediately struck by her constant smile and positivity…
    We love you, Carrie ?

    When we think of Carrie, we think of the world “love.” She was a warm caring, loving being with a great sense of humor. She was REAL and TRUE. When she cared about you, she gave you her all. When she hugged, she would hug you with her whole heart. When she laughed, it was a hearty laugh, throwing her head back and enjoying it with her whole body. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten in our hearts. Much love to the whole family. We love you, Carrie!

    Carrie was a dear friend to my dad Jeff Wray. My brother and I have great memories with Carrie as kids. She would keep my dad company and we loved being around her. I had no idea she passed away until today. Please accept our love and prayers from the Wray family. My dad passed away summer of 21.
