Carmen worked for the Army and Air Force Exchange. Her previous work locations includes; Okinawa and Yokota Air Base in Japan; Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska and Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state before retiring after 33 years.
Carmen enjoyed baking and cooking, spending time in her garden, taking care of her dogs (Ziva, Skipper and Snoopy), playing the card game, In-Between, with family and friends, but most of all, spending time with her husband and sons. Her memory and spirit will forever be in our hearts.
