Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Carmen Craig was born in The Dalles, Oregon, on Dec. 1, 1975 . She graduated from The Dalles High School before attending OSU and getting a degree in psychology. She is survived by her mother, Colleen Odonnell, and her father, Jim Craig. Her brother, Curtis Craig, proceeded her in death by a little over a year.
After traveling to Europe and around the U.S. in her van, she moved to Hood River, Oregon, for several years. Her passion was downhill mountain bike racing. She made many friends through that community and many others in the Hood River area.
She decided she wanted to become a nurse so she moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to get an accelerated degree. Moving back to The Dalles, she worked at the VA hospital for a period of time. Not wanting to endure the cold winters in Oregon , she moved to Prescott, Arizona, where she bought a house that she took great pride in fixing up.
Carmen had a sweet spot for shelter dogs ending up with four at a time. She cared for her dogs, as though they were her children.
No services are planned at this time. In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to local animal shelters in her name.
