Carrie Margaret Kreiger

Carrie Margaret Kreiger age 98 of North Lawrence passed away February 15, 2012. Carrie was born February 20, 1913 in East Greenville to the late Frederic & Angela (Mertes) Harig. A lifelong resident of East Greenville Carrie was known for her love of life and gregarious personality. She touched everyone around her with her sense of humor and quick wit. Giving back was important to Carrie and she devoted years of her life volunteering with the Tuslaw Band and later with Shady Lawn Nursing Home. She was featured in numerous newspaper articles for her volunteer work and her motto was "keep moving!" This she did and at the young age of 95 she purchased a new car. Her family was everything to her, and she was undoubtedly the family historian, lovingly keeping track of the family tree. Not only could she remember details of family members' lives, she had the stories to match. These will be forever treasured. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband Bob Kreiger (1989), a sister Kathryn Glutting and a brother Edmund Harig. Carrie is survived by a son and daughter in law, Kim and Deborah Kreiger of Orlando, FL and a granddaughter Allison Kreiger Walsh and great-grand daughter Madison Lee Walsh of Windermere, FL.
