She was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church and was a 1960 graduate of White County High School in Virginia, and was the salutatorian of her class.

A devoted Christian, Mrs. Carpenter lived her life as a testament to her faith, always striving to love and serve others. Her good heart was evident in the countless acts of kindness she extended to those in need, offering comfort, encouragement, and support wherever it was needed.

Above all she was a caring and selfless mother and grandmother who poured her heart into her family. Her children will forever remember her as a source of strength, wisdom and unconditional love. She taught them the value of kindness, faith and perseverance, leaving behind a legacy that will endure for generations.

She enjoyed sewing, crossword puzzles, crocheting and watching Hallmark movies.
