Carr started training to become a nurse at Sacred Heart Hospital (now known as St. Luke's Sacred Heart Campus) in Allentown, Pennsylvania during World War II in 1944. All five of Carr's children, and nearly all of her 12 grandchildren, were born at Sacred Heart. Her son-in-law, Vincent Burns, was also born at the hospital — Carr met him hours afterward in the newborn nursery.

Carr's passion is infectious: Her daughter, Grace Loring, worked in the pediatric ward at St. Luke's Sacred Heart Campus for 35 years before retiring.
