Carmen’s journey was marked by unwavering dedication and service, particularly during her 25-year tenure at Walmart, where she served diligently in Denver and Pueblo.

Her radiant smile and remarkable resilience made her a true role model, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Carmen found joy in celebrations and cherished moments spent with her family, where she imparted invaluable life lessons and shared her boundless love with each generation. Her heart of gold touched the lives of many, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and unconditional love.
