Carrie Lynn Wiederholt Reynolds was born 26 Mar 1983 in Helena, Montana to Betty Jean Cazier Wiederholt and Joseph Thomas Wiederholt. She was the youngest and only girl of that couple, with four older brothers, JJ (Joseph Thomas Jr), David, Randy and Mark. She grew up with her cousins, the Reynolds family. Her older adopted siblings were Cheri, Lisa, and Jennifer, and younger were Jordan and Erin. Her mother had two younger children, half siblings, Shane and Katrina. She was loved by all of her families. She had one daughter, Anisha Heaven Leigh, who was her everything.

Carrie was a strong, independent and compassionate person. She was very protective of her loved ones, and very self-sacrificing. Though she was tough and didn't let anyone walk over her, she was incredibly forgiving and loving. She loved deeply and had compassion for even those who caused her pain. She saw the light inside every soul no matter how dark their path might be. She loved to cook and to nurture others. She was intelligent and intuitive, talents she used both personally and professionally. Carrie was an accomplished paralegal and had an exceptional tactical skill for organizing details with intelligence.

No matter how difficult life's challenges, Carrie's will and heart always shown brightly through the darkness, bringing light, love and healing to all around her. I hope that she now knows just how loved she was and is, and just how much of a difference she made to me and to many. She will be deeply missed.
