Carma Carr

Friday, Jan. 08, 2016

Carma passed away peacefully at home on Dec. 20, 2015 with her family by her side. She was welcomed into heaven by her husband, Eldred, and daughter, Mitzi.

She grew up in Sugarhouse and married the love of her life, Eldred Carr, in July 1952. She loved yard work and gardening, and enjoyed volunteering at the St. Vincent de Paul dining hall. 

Carma was generous and sweet but spoke her mind.  

Carma wrote a letter dictating what she wanted her obituary to say. She didn’t want it to be all about her, rather about those that she loved and the impact that they’ve had on her. She says, “The people that I love have taught me that loving others is the story of your life, to have a giving heart and not expect anything in return. 

“They have given me strength in the most difficult times and taught me that if you stick together you can get through anything. Life is full of delightful treasures and what a treasure it has been.”

She wanted to thank Mark, Kevin, Steve, Jessica and Suzette; also her friends Vicki, Karen, Mary, Phyllis, and Jean as well as Monsignor Colin F. Bircumshaw, Monsignor Michael Winterer, Father Mike Sciumbato and all of the staff at the Paul Mitchell School. 

She is survived by her son and best friend Hal; granddaughter Marshon; Maggie and Boo, and many others who considered her family who will miss her dearly.

A funeral Mass was celebrated Dec. 28 at St. Ann Catholic Church. 

Interment followed at Murray City Cemetery.
