Born in 1965 in Uppsala to Lars Harry Lasse Johnsen and Mariann Charloth Lundstrom, the first of their two children (her brother Lars Karl Gide Christer was born a year later), Carita Charloth Johnsen met Peter Tadeusz Barasinski in 1990, when both Carita and Peter worked on the ferry Athena.

They got married in Uppsala on Jun 25, 1993. The day after their wedding (which had lasted two days), while visiting Uppsala, Carita's hometown, Carita and Peter had gone to the old cemetery of Uppsala, and Carita had asked Peter to promise her that should she ever die before him, he would bury her there; Peter had promised her so.

Subsequently they both got a work on the Estonia, Peter as a restaurant chef and Carita as a conference hostess. They worked on the Estonia supervising and training new personnel.

On Sep 27, Carita Barasinski was on sick leave, since she had had a small surgery operation. She had a slight headache and in such cases, Peter always went in her place, and even this time he offered to stand in for her, but two hours before departure Carita changed her mind and said "Oh, I'll do the job, I'm feeling better again."

Carita was probably trapped a few meters away from the exit to deck 7, and went down with the ship.

After Peter got the insurance money for Carita's death, he decided to use that money to find her body and bury her. He didn't succeed.

Peter died on Sep 17, 2006, without ever being able to recover his wife's body.
