She is preceded in death and now joins her parents Andrew E. Wray and Alice T. Wray.

Carmen believed that doing for others and being of use was of the utmost importance. She would always say “I just want to be useful.” She was a great hair dresser for many years, she loved to sew and cook, and she would always use her skills to teach others what she considered lost arts. Most of all she loved her family and she loved the Lord. In remembrance of his mother Drew, would like to share Proverbs 3:18-“She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her fast.”
