A lifelong area resident, she was a 1959 graduate of Warren High School and attended W.C.A. Hospital School of Nursing and Jamestown Community College.

Carla Mae was the owner-operator of the Pounds-A-Weigh Figure Salon for many years, and also worked at the Warren Manor for 16 years—never missing a day, or being late.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death on August 30, 1964, by a half-brother, Frank Carleton Gay.
