Mrs. Carr was married to Arlam over sixty years and it was her second marriage. She had five generations. They both enjoyed the insurance business where they worked together and they both enjoyed registering people to vote. When Mr. Carr made his transition in 2004 at ninety five, he was still the top voter registrar in Montgomery.
