SAVANNAH, GA - Clara Ruth Carpenter Brackett, affectionately known as ""Granny"", 85, who lived in Savannah, Georgia, entered into eternal peace on Monday, July 27, 2015.
Clara Ruth was born on Aug. 6, 1929, daughter of the late Charlie and Lilly Carpenter.

Brackett, Jr. They married on May 14, 1955, and moved to Lawndale, North Carolina, where they started a family and were blessed with two wonderful children. Together they owned Brackett's Service Station and Tire Company and were members of the Polkville Baptist Church.
