Obituary for Lucille "Babe" Carpenter
Revelation 21:3-4
"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Lucille "Babe" Carpenter was born in Iredell County on April 12, 1935, to the late Allen Carpenter and Flora Summers Carpenter. She departed this life on Friday, March 10, 2023.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her two sisters and a brother-in-law, Elizabeth Carpenter and Betty Turner and her husband, Paul Turner; a nephew, Terry W. Turner, Sr.
She moved to Detroit, Michigan at an early age and was employed at Providence Hospital in Housekeeping and later retired there. She spent most of her time with her family in Detroit, "the Mayberry's." Her absolute favorite hobby was bowling. Her favorite pastime after moving back to N.C. was sitting on the deck with her poodle, "Gracie."
She leaves to cherish the memory of her life, two nieces, Barbara Turner of Winston-Salem; Paulette (Johnie) Ratcliff of Statesville; four nephews; Larry (Betty) Turner and Robin (Joann) Turner of Charlotte and Kamau Waalee and Allen Lewis Turner, both of Statesville; a God-Son, Edward Drakeford, Jr. of Pensacola, Florida and a host of great-nieces and nephews, cousins, and other special relatives and friends.
Memorial services will be held on Monday, March 20, 2023, at Rutledge and Bigham Funeral Home, at 11:00 am with Robin Turner giving the words of comfort. Burial will follow in the Freedom Presbyterian Church cemetery.
