Carrie Hinz was born in Bowbells, North Dakota to Fritz and Barbara Siemers on March 15, 1936. She grew up on a farm with her two sisters, Norma and Sally, on the windy plains of North Dakota. Carrie graduated from Bowbells High School and then attended Minot Teacher’s College where she met her future husband, Paul Hinz.
Paul and Carrie were married on June 10 1960 at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, and then moved to Harrogate, England for Paul’s assignment in the U.S. Army. Upon completion of his duty in Harrogate, Paul separated from the army and they eventually made their way to Fallon, Nevada.
In Fallon, Carrie began teaching seventh grade English for Churchill County School District. Carrie retired after a 30-year teaching career. Throughout their years in Fallon, Paul and Carrie attended the First Baptist Church. Carrie taught several Sunday school classes, a women’s Bible study, and was church recorder at various times during her membership.
Carrie is survived by two children, Michele and Michael, five grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
