Carmen T. Herberg

Loving Mother, Grandmother and Mother-in-Law, Carmen Teresa Herberg (Gajeski), age 90, of Tucson, AZ passed away peacefully on August 12, 2025. Her nursing career, spanning 45 years was one of Carmen's proudest achievements especially throughout her tenure at Gorgas US Army Hospital, Ancon, in the Panama Canal Zone in the Republic of Panama.

She relocated to Tucson in 1987 at the bequest of her son, Peter, to join him as he pursued his law degree. She continued to work in Tucson at the HealthSouth Rehabilitation Center until full retirement in 2000.

Carmen (Nonie) enjoyed her time raising her granddaughter, Eva, throughout her school years whereupon she became the grandmother figure to many of her friends. She leaves a huge whole in our hearts and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Carmen is preceded in death by her father and mother, Edwin and Herminia Gajeski, two brothers, Edwin and Eric. She is survived by her son, Peter, and granddaughter, Eva Herberg.

Special thank you to the nursing staff at Select Specialty Hospital,Tucson East, who provided ever watchful and caring support to Carmen throughout the past 2 months.
