She was a certified dental hygienist and worked in Nettleton and Aberdeen. She was also instrumental in the State School Dentistry Program. She enjoyed studying herbal medicine, holistic healing and singing worship songs unto her Lord. Carrie had a personality and glow about her and would light up any room she walked in.
