Bio
"Carma F. Whitmore, 100 years, formerly of Fremont, Nebraska died Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at the Good Samaritan Society in Scribner, Nebraska. Carma was born May 3, 1916 on the family farm near Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska to Benjamin and Elizabeth (McCauley) Haxby. She grew up on the family farm. She and her younger brother Robert always had a great love for animals and had pets to care for. She attended school in Cedar Bluffs and was a 1934 graduate of Cedar Bluffs High School. Carma married the love of her life, Durward “Curley” Whitmore on November 25, 1937. They moved to Omaha where they had two daughters, Sharon Kay and Karen LaFaye. Carma worked for Omaha Public Schools in the cafeteria for several years. She retired to become a full time grandmother and caretaker for her husband.
