She is joined in heaven with her parents; her son, James; her daughter, Mindy; her grandson, Anakin; and her grandson, Baby Manny. Carmen was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. She was a strong and loving person who loved spending time with her family, whom she loved to have long deep conversations with. She is loved deeply and will never be forgotten. It gives her family great peace that she passed comfortable and happy, surrounded by her kids and family. Greer’s Mortuary of Winslow handled the arrangements.
