Carrie Hecker Memorial Fund

Carrie Hecker was born on November 29th 1978 in Carson City, Nevada. She moved to Quincy with her mother and sister three years later in 1981. She attended Head Start and Pioneer Elementary School and graduated from Quincy High in 1996. Carrie excelled in sports. Early on she played T-Ball and continued on into adult, co-ed soft ball, playing with the Quincy team “Master Batters” where she made many friends. In high school she gained notoriety as the first female football player in Plumas County, playing on the Junior Varsity team.

In the summertime, Carrie enjoyed camping and hanging out on Spanish Creek with her family and friends. She loved to trap crawdads and enjoyed showing her cousins and others how to clean and cook them. She liked to go target shooting and enjoyed cutting and splitting firewood in the fall and was always around to help out when needed. Carrie was fond of Roses and Carnations and her favorite color was purple. Her words to live by were “live the life you love”.

Carrie, “Carebear” to her close friends and family, was known for her big heart and loving personality. She loved her two children, Robert and Kaydence, unconditionally. She could be the light in any room and her contagious laugh and big smile would make everyone feel loved.

Carrie was taken from us prematurely on September 30th, 2017. She is survived by her two beautiful children, Kaydence Lynn and Robert Guy, her mother Linda Lyn and step father Malcolm Muir also her sister Lynn Hutchinson and her family Marc, Trinity and Kathrine.
