Joetta B. Carr

Joetta found pure joy and purpose in caring for others. She served as a registered operating room nurse for nearly a decade until she dedicated her life to her family when she became a mother. She helped raise three generations, serving as a powerful role model who taught love and compassion even in the most challenging of times. Joetta was infectiously positive and courageous. In nine years, Joetta fought three different types of cancer. She was a true warrior.

She is predeceased by her husband of 66 years James P. Carr and survived by her children, Timothy and Cynthia; her grandchildren, Kasandra, Brittany, Timothy Jr. and Patrick; and six great-grandchildren.
