Carrie was mom to two girls. Maids as she called us. She would have had boys if she wanted butlers she would say. Tamara Renee Webb Nelson and Tarisha Faye Webb Ridings. (Bruce Nelson). Her sweet grands who called her Nanny are Jordon Gage Smith aka Jordy to all, Lauren Abigail Sanderson (DaeDae Freeman), Alexander Carroll Childers, Kerighan Paige Ridings and Rylee Ann Nelson. Her precious great grands who melted her heart and whom she loved smothering in kisses are Aubree Lynn Freeman, Chance Zyair Freeman and Aviona Jade Freeman. She has left behind so many nieces and nephews and old friends and new who left lasting memories for her to speak about. Carrie took pride in her cooking. She loved to get those picky eaters to try “her cookin!” She worked many years with her best friend Steve Waldrop, who called her granny. Since retiring she has read many a fiction book, worked the hardest crosswords she could find and took it upon herself to spoil her grandson Jordy.
