Carie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was an exceptional homemaker and an avid Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins and Pirates fan. She was an exceptional Scrabble player, who enjoyed her weekly games with her friends, the Scrabble Ladies. She also enjoyed making trips to the casino and hosting a good poker game. Above all, however, she enjoyed her family.
