Carla is survived by her husband, George, her son, Brett (Mylea), grandchildren Taylor, Madison and Zoe of Meridian, Idaho, a daughter, Erin (Michael), and grandchildren Jayden and Kenzie of Billings. She will be greatly missed by her sisters Susie (Dave), Deb (Rene), and Sandy (Mark) and many of her well-loved nieces and nephews.

She was a member of Unity Church where she studied A Course in Miracles which became the foundation of her faith. She was gifted at bringing people together and cooking incredible meals.
