She has lived in many places, but loved living in Phoenix, AZ the most.  She loved the heat and always said "the hotter the better."  She had a love of animals and rescued Great Danes.

In High School, she was the only female goalie on the Northridge hockey team.  Later she took every opportunity to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs.  Carrie loved playing and watching golf.  She enjoyed attending the TPC Tournament in Scottsdale, AZ.  She was also a devoted supporter of the Denver Broncos.

Carrie thoroughly enjoyed a good, suspenseful mystery novel.

She is survived by her father Greg (Ali) Hancock, mother Jan (J.R.) Ray, sister Michelle (Dustin) Gilbert, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and the niece she adored Monroe Gilbert.  She is also survived by her step-brothers and sisters:  Lindsay (Neil) Anderson, Cameron (Leah) Knighton, Jonathon Knighton, whom Carrie lived with for a time, Brandon (Brittany) Knighton, Benjamin Knighton, Emily (Jeff) Knight, Christian (Kiersten) Knighton, Abby Knighton, Christina Ray (Daniel) Oetker, Jakie Lakey and Samantha Ray.
