She was surrounded by her mother, brother, two sisters, and brother in-law, before returning to her Heavenly Father. Carrie was born on January 4, 1978, in San Jose, California. She started school at age four and was an excellent student. She was an avid reader her entire life, and as a young girl, read the complete works of Shakespeare. At the time of her passing she was reading Les Miserables for the second time. Her family moved to Portland, Oregon, when she was nine. Carrie was a natural swimmer and was recruited to join a competitive swim team. She continued to swim competitively through high school and college. She shared this passion as a lifeguard and youth swim coach in Park City, Utah. Carrie attended Brigham Young University, where she earned a degree in Psychology, and minored in Business. Carrie was a beautiful person inside and out. She was gentle and kindhearted, and loved her friends and family. She was known for her quick wit and amazing recollection of numbers and details. Through nine years of recurring brain tumors, Carrie was an inspiration to all. She never complained or lost her patience, optimism, or sense of humor. Everyone who knew her will miss her.

Weinstein; siblings, Greg (Lucy) and their sons, Josh, Sammy, and Alex; Amy (Loran) Cook and their son Riley; and Jill (Dustin) McQuay and their daughter Ella.
