We are gathered here to bid farewell to Carmen Cartagena, who finally escaped the chaos of daily life on April 29, 2024, in Kissimmee, Florida. Born on March 3, 1932, Carmen spent her 92 years on this earth causing mischief and spreading laughter wherever she went.

Despite her wrinkled exterior, Carmen had the energy and spirit of a mischievous teenager. She could often be found causing trouble at the local bingo hall or challenging unsuspecting youngsters to dance-offs at the community center.

Carmen had a love for exotic vacations and was always planning her next adventure. Whether she was skydiving in her 80s or snorkeling with sharks, Carmen was never one to shy away from a challenge.

Although she had no children of her own, Carmen adored her 8 grandchildren, who she dubbed her "partners in crime." She loved spoiling them rotten and teaching them all of her favorite pranks and jokes.

Carmen will be remembered for her contagious laughter, adventurous spirit, and unwavering passion for life. She may have left us, but she will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
