Carla grew up in Waldron and graduated from WHS. She married the love of her life, Danny Harrison, on March 16, 1979. They spent their 41 years together, raising one daughter but helping and caring for so many more. Carla was the epitome of caring for others.

Carla worked for the Waldron News and the Scott County Advertiser for many years. She also worked for The Times Record. She served in many positions but was currently a sales associate. Carla enjoyed her work and especially cherished her work colleagues. Carla never met a stranger and really enjoyed visiting with everyone.
