Carla Pulaski is a character in the novel Final Destination: Looks Could Kill. She is the mother of Stephanie Pulaski. After Stephanie awakes from her coma following the Coral Clipper sinking, Carla visits her to see how she is doing and to take her back to her hometown, Allentown. Stephanie immediately tells her she wasn't going back with her and that her real name is "Sherry" now. Carla tells her daughter she has nothing left since Pier Merlot was dead and no one would hire her due to her maimed face. Stephanie simply chucks a bedpan at her mother and shouts for her to leave, which she did shortly afterwards.
