Carmen will be remembered as a very caring and compassionate person and always put the needs of others before her own. Her home was always open to her friends and family with whom she would greet and always offer something to eat. She was a woman of strong faith and never took for granted the simple things in life that she was blessed with. She spent many years fighting for her health but never burdened anyone. She dedicated her life to helping others serve Christ, alongside her husband, by doing Catholic Couple's Retreats and serving as a Cursillistas. She was lovingly known as "Nana" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and provided them with an abundance of love. Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of those she touched.
