Carrie Renee (Gardner) Bounds

Carrie G.  Bounds, 48, went to be with her Lord and Savior on September 20, 2023. She was born on September 9, 1975, in Fayetteville NC, to the late Allen W. Gardner and Deborah L. Gardner. Carrie was a loving mother, survived by her daughters Madison Rentas (McKelly Rentas) and Allie Bounds, and her son Jackson Bounds. She is also survived by her sisters Christi Beasley (Billy Beasley) and Amy Lunsford (Joshua Lunsford), as well as her Nieces Brittany Archer (Micah Archer), Hannah Beasley, and Emma Lunsford.

Carrie spent most of her career working at Open Arms Retirement Center. She started with the retirement home as a CNA, spent some time as a med tech, and eventually worked her way up to a supervisor. She was known for her kind and nurturing nature, and her dedication to her work was evident in her interactions with her patients. 

Outside of her profession, Carrie had a variety of interests and hobbies. She enjoyed writing and journaling, spending time at the beach, taking long walks, and the occasional retail therapy. These activities brought her joy and allowed her to express her creativity and enjoy the beauty of the world around her. Carrie was a member of Parker United Methodist Church for many years. Although she wasn’t active with the church, her faith was an important aspect of her life, and she found comfort and strength in her religious beliefs.
