Carmen's greatest joy in life was family and friends. Her french chatter was nonstop with a great accent. She became an enthusiast of adult coloring, and was a bright, positive addition to Carlisle Place. She loved having visitors and sitting on the porch together. She always made her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren feel special and loved. Going for walks with family and neighbors was also something she enjoyed. Visiting relatives in Canada and Maine was very important to Carmen. She always made sure that everyone was taken care of which made her day. She had such a big heart and cared for so many people. She “love the bird” that came to her feeder.
A Celebration of Life Service will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the local Red Cross or Holy Trinity Church. The Munz-Pirnstill Funeral Home is assisting with arrangements and expressions of sympathy can be left at www.munzpirnstill.com
