Most of the Carpenters are of a quiet, unassuming, uncomplaining disposition - always ready to support any good work.

Interesting to note a common virtue among the men in the family - always showing kindness and thoughtful concern to their companions and children.

On August 26, 1986, Mom suffered another major stroke. She was taken to the hospital that afternoon because of breathing problems. She died August 28, 1986, in her sleep. Her funeral was held August 30, 1986 in the 40th Ward Chapel. she was buried next to her beloved husband at the East Resthaven Cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona.

Favorite songs:
Abide with me tis eventide
Sometime, Somewhere We’ll Understand
The Lord is My Shepherd
In the Hollow of His Hand
