Carnetta Boyd was lured to Corbett by her sister, and she is thrilled that it happened! Living in a "busy and noisy" spot in Aloha, the mother of four was ready for some serene living. After hearing how much sister Phyllis loved Corbett, Carnetta and husband Sonny ventured out to an Open House on the Scenic Hwy. in 1999. Moving here in time for their youngest son to attend and graduate from Corbett High, Carnetta says she just loves the community. Living near the Women's Forum, she says many folks stop near her home to take scenic photos, and she enjoys getting to meet folks from literally all over the world. She shares information with them about spots to visit as well as helps take photos of whole groups so no one has to be the one taking the shot! Carnetta was involved on the Board for the Springdale School but has had to step off because she is so busy being a part of the NERT team (Neighborhood Emergency Response Team) as well as being involved with NEMCA (North East Multnomah Co. Community Association). NEMCA started in 1959 as a volunteer group wanting to get an exit ramp for Corbett! Carnetta also started 3 years ago with the Hazard Mitigation Committee for Multnomah County with Kathleen Reiter. In her "free" time she loves to sing and is quite good! Her and her husband team up with sister Phyllis to sing in a trio called "Timeless Trilogy." They sing at local events all over Corbett as well as churches. They are always looking for new gigs and are for hire for weddings, parties and other social events. Carnetta says it is the people that make Corbett truly "home" for her and her family.
