She moved to Montana to be with her husband in 2004 and started working for Chuck Wall in Justice Court and later as a paralegal in the Manley Law Firm.
Caren was very creative and turned her hobby into a business. She started Caren about U Creations. She made jewelry from Swarovski crystal and soap on a rope. Her jewelry creations included an angel section, prayer and rosary bracelets, anklets, necklaces and much more. She was a regular at the farmers markets, craft shows and on the Internet. Caren really enjoyed the other vendors and meeting the people who came to her booth.
