Mary Illeen Carney, 84, of Charleston went to be with her Savior and King on November 6, 2010.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, the Rev. Willard F. Carney; daughter, Angela Hope Carney, and her parents the late Silburn Markham and wife Edna Pearl (ALLEN).
She retired from Peoples/ Monumental Life Insurance Company. Mary and her husband, Willard, started multiple churches in the Kanawha, Putnam and Jackson County area. They also founded Prayer and Faith Wesleyan Church Association.
