Mildred Evelyn Armstrong Carpenter, 99, of Athens, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 13, 2019, at her residence.
She was born the second of eight children to the late Rob and Elsie Armstrong in McMinn County and was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Daniel Carpenter; two sons, Daniel Lewis Carpenter Jr. and Ronnie Allen Carpenter; granddaughter, Robin Lynn Carpenter; and five sisters, Ann Small, Margaret Addison, Virginia Jo Martin, Gladys Davis and Agnes Walden.
