Carrie Rynders - Carrie grew up in Wisconsin and married her high school sweetheart, Dan, in 1976. They lived there with their three children and Carrie worked as a travel agent. She retired to take care of their oldest daughter, Amy, who was in a wheelchair and required extra at-home care after finishing school. In 1999, the family moved to Arizona to fulfill a lifelong dream to build Stagecoach Trails Guest Ranch, the first completely handicapped accessible dude ranch in America. They were very proud of their family-owned and operated guest ranch and they worked hard to provide everyone who stayed there a truly memorable western experience. They are thankful that God provided the opportunity for them to know Donna, Rich, and Brenna, and to become involved with Brenna's Home. In 2014, Carrie and Dan passed the ranch to new owners so they could return to Wisconsin and be close to their children and grandchildren.
