Family was the center of Carla’s world. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and took great joy in spoiling them whenever she could. Nothing made her prouder than watching her grandchildren play sports, cheering them on from the sidelines and celebrating every accomplishment. Her love, encouragement, and unwavering support will be remembered forever.

Carla enjoyed life’s many pleasures. She loved traveling, shopping, playing Bingo, and spending time at the casino. Family members often joked that going to the casino was like going to church for her it was one of her favorite places to be and brought her endless enjoyment.
One of her greatest loves was the river. She spent countless days camping by the water, a place where she felt most at peace. The river was where she created treasured memories with family and friends, sharing laughter, stories, meals, and unforgettable moments. Whether relaxing by the shoreline or gathering with loved ones, she was happiest surrounded by family at the river she loved so dearly.

Carla will be remembered for her warm heart, generous spirit, dedication to education, and deep love for her family. She touched countless lives as a teacher, mentor, mother, grandmother, and friend.
