Zoe Noel Carr was born August 7th, 2002 in Carlsbad, New Mexico. She came back home to Carlsbad for vacation and was called to heaven on July 3rd, 2016. At this time she also became a donor for Donate Life NM. Zoe was 13 years young and had just graduated 8th grade. Zoe was very excited about her trip back home and was looking forward to seeing her family and getting a pickle snow cone. When Zoe was six months old she became an "Air Force brat". In her thirteen years of life she lived in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey. She was anxious to find out where her next move was going to be. She was hoping for Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, or Florida. When others thought of Zoe they always remembered her crazy faces, outgoing personality, beautiful smile, and contagious laugh. In her younger years she really enjoyed going to her grandparents' farm in Bloomsburg, PA. That is where the country girl would come out in her. In her past time Zoe enjoyed looking up YouTube videos on hair, makeup, and anything that would make her laugh. On the trip down to Carlsbad she had a discussion with her mom about how important music was to her and she did not know what she would do without it. Her favorite artists were George Strait, Bryson Tiller, and J Cole. Her favorite George Strait song was "I Can Still Make Cheyenne." Her favorite Bryson Tiller songs were "Don't and Exchange." Zoe dreamed of seeing J Cole and Bryson Tiller in concert in Philadelphia. She enjoyed watching movies, especially scary movies that involved ghosts or the paranormal. She recently took a liking to military movies and after watching the movie "13 Hours" she wanted to be an operator. Zoe had a tough side to her and she wanted to start Ju Jitsu when she got back to New Jersey. She would watch UFC and said she would like to try and fight someday. Zoe had many aspirations. She wanted to do makeup for the celebrities in Los Angeles. She also thought about joining the Air Force. If Zoe joined she said, "I want to do combat!" She also dreamed of attending college in Texas or California. Zoe's passion was anything that involved hair, makeup, and nails. In the end she wanted to make it big and have her own line of makeup so everyone would know her name. She also loved softball and was excited she made the all stars team this summer in New Jersey. Zoe enjoyed traveling, fishing, being outdoors, and being around family. On the day of her passing, she was doing all of those. Zoe had a fearless spirit and always lived in the moment. Zoe once said, "Everything revolves around the sun, when everything is said and done, but the only thing that matters in the end is happiness and having fun."
