She loved the casinos and going to Las Vegas with her friends, Doug and Karen. Carletta always came out a winner whether she won or not. She loved flowers and always had many different varieties in her yard. Carletta loved to travel to different places and although she wasn’t able to go everywhere she wanted, she is now in a place where she can go to all the places she ever wanted to go to. Fly High! Antique collecting was also a passion and her house was always filled with her treasures. Carletta loved art work and had a great eye for the best paintings.
