Carrie was born on September 3, 1947 in Grand Forks, North Dakota to Victor and Maria Arteaga.  She married Armando Garcia and their union was blessed with many children and grandchildren.  Carrie loved norteña, polka and cumbia dances.  She spent hours in her yard growing a garden and tending to flowers.  Carrie worked for over 30 years in the medical field taking care of the elderly but her favorite job was homemaker and grandma to all of her grandkids.  She would spoil them with great meals and frisbee sized homemade tortillas.  Carrie loved to go early to garage sales, take long walks with the grandkids and absolutely loved for the family to all get together at a house for cooking and fun memories.
