In 1926 Carry passed her HBS-B final exam. Four years later she married her former classmate Wim Happé. He worked in his family business for chocolate and sugar products in Amsterdam, which he took over from his father in 1930.

They went to live in Heemstede, where their son Erik was born on April 22, 1931. Their son Wouter was born on August 22, 1934, and later that year they moved to Haarlem.

In 1942, Carry and Wim were forced to move to Amsterdam through the anti-Jewish measures and Erik and Wouter were housed with other families. In September 1943 the family was reunited in a released home in Amsterdam.

In mid -September, Carry was arrested during a check on the street and she was imprisoned for six weeks in the Hollandsche Schouwburg.

Around November 3, 1943 she was deported to Camp Vught.

Wim and their children survived the war, and moved back to Haarlem. Her father and sister lived at hiding places and also survived the war. Her mother died at the end of 1941 from the effects of cancer.
