She was dedicated to empowering students in the arts. With her caring and compassionate ways, there was no surprise she would follow her calling to be an advocate of service to others.

She demonstrated this in every life she touched and in moments she shared with others. Carrie was highly decorated and received over 200 awards and merits over the course of her life. In recent years, Carrie was an active member of the New Brooklyn Restoration Lions Club, where she participated in various community service projects and served as assistant to the secretary. She enjoyed traveling with her family and friends, dining out, going to performances, and numerous hobbies such as sewing and crocheting.
