It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Carla Elaine Lemley, on April 1, 2026.

Carla was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend whose warmth and strength touched everyone who knew her. In this difficult time, our family is coming together to honor her life with a respectful funeral service and wake. However, the unexpected nature of her passing has left us facing significant out-of-pocket expenses that has made the whole thing even more stressful than need be.

We have set this goal to provide Carla with the dignified farewell she deserves. Every donation will go directly toward the following essential costs:

• Cremation fee

• Funeral service fee

• Honorarium for the pastor who will officiate the service

• Catering for the wake

• Venue rental/ decorations for the wake

• Urns and other memorial trinkets

These funds will allow us to gather with family and friends to celebrate Carla’s life in a meaningful and respectful way without adding further financial hardship to our family during this already challenging time.

Any contribution — no matter the size — will make a real difference and will be received with sincere gratitude. If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you keep Carla and our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity as we navigate this loss and honor the memory of a truly remarkable woman. If you are interested in attending the service, please reach out to a family member to acquire more details.

With heartfelt appreciation,

The Milberg Family.
