Carmen was a dedicated BSA Scouting leader helping many Cub Scouts gain life skills and learn about the good they can be in their community and world. She helped her three sons achieve their Eagle Rank as well as many grandsons. Over her lifetime Carmen was able to serve in many church positions wherever the Lord needed her. Carmen loved to travel. She and Weldon were able to visit all 50 united states and visit countries outside of the US. These travels include five missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
