After growing up surrounded by the Alleghany mountains of Pennsylvania, Carrie attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh where she met her future husband Robert.

Carrie was known for her elegant style showcased by her fashion and jewelry. This led to the opening of her own boutique, Black Rose, in Madison, WI. She ran the store for many years.
