Carrie was a bright light, always positive, loving and generous. She was a creative thinker and problem solver. She took a special interest in our small school, Parkview Junior Academy, which will be blessed for years to come by her vision, effort, and unselfishness. Her warm hugs and beautiful smile will be greatly missed. She made the world a much better place. My heart aches over this loss. Marty, Rachel, Carla, and Abi- you are and will be in my prayers.

To Carrie’s family I am so sorry for your loss. Carrie was a wonderful, kind, caring and loving person. She was my chiropractor for a number of years and a person I could discuss anything with. She always had words of wisdom and a message of hope for me. She will certainly be missed. Love, hugs and prayers, Carol DeShane (Harley)

The world has lost one of its Angels. Carrie came into our lives as a doctor over 30 years ago and left as a friend. Her loving and wholistic approach to her craft and to her clients was nothing short of remarkable. She will be sorely missed by all who had the fortune to know her and to have had her presence bless their lives. We will forever keep her in our hearts with love and gratitude. Loving thoughts and prayers to Carrie and her family.

Carrie was my mom's best friend. She was an aunt to me. The kindest person I have had the pleasure to know. Always smiling bright. I will never forget her and her smile. I see it in her daughters, who inherited that same smile. Same kindness. I am sending all of my love to the Goettsch Girls and Marty, and the whole of family and friends who have lost someone truly special in our lives. Someone we will always think of with a smile and with love.

To Carrie’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express my feelings of sympathy for your family. I remember the first time I met Carrie I was a young widow who had just joined The Master’s Touch Chorale and she encouraged me and made me feel right at home. Also when she felt the Holy Spirit’s nudge, she wasn’t afraid to give her testimony. I’m sure she is singing at the gates of heaven right now!
