Carmen worked the majority of her 32-year career at the Marine Corps Logistics Base, Barstow, California from 1966-1998. She worked in various fields from Traffic and Transportation to Environmental and Safety to Accounting and Budget before retiring as an Artillery Repairer.

Carmen was a long-time member of St. Joseph Catholic Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir. She was a crafty lady who blessed those around her immensely with her talents, and was the best at gathering her large family together for reunions as well as a great record keeper of the family. She will

be dearly missed here on earth, but she must be enjoying the presence of her Savior and the reunion with her family.

An outdoor mass will be held on December 9, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Barstow, California. Burial will follow at Mt. View Cemetery in Barstow, California.
