Margie Gaddy Obituary
Margie Gaddy, mother to Richard Carpenter (Kristy), Jay Carpenter (Rebekah), and Marsha Nicholson, passed away on September 6, 2024. Her final moments were spent peacefully at Baptist Reynolds Hospice House in Collierville, Tennessee, surrounded by Richard, Jay, Marsha, Kristy, Rebekah, and family friend, Steven Carroll.
Known for her sweet and sassy personality and her huge smile, she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She lived a great life, residing in Pontotoc, Mississippi, Fawn Grove Community/Fulton, Mississippi and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She loved the beach and made many memories there with her husband, her family and her friends over a 30-year span. Margie's family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing.
She is survived by her 3 children, Richard, Jay, and Marsha. Her 6 grandchildren, Meri Scott (Hank) Waterer, Meg (Nelson) Graham, Luke Carpenter, Connor Carpenter, Brady Nicholson, and Ava Carpenter. Her great-grandson, Henry Waterer, Her 3 step-grandchildren, Joey Beloate, Holden Butts, and Jordan Boylan. Her sister, Maxine Ard.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Caldwell Gaddy. Her parents, Lester Pitts and Nettie Moore. Her little brother, Carol Pitts. Her sisters, Hazel Bone, Sue Carrol, and Faye Baldwin.
A private family ceremony will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2024 at Oak Forest Cemetery in Randolph, MS where she will be laid to rest beside her loving mother, Nettie Moore, who preceded her in death in 1983.
Pallbearers: Joey Beloate, Holden Butts, Luke Carpenter, Brady Nicholson

Dear Richard, Jay, and Marsha,
I have, and will always have, a special place in my heart for Margie (and all of the Carpenter family).
Margie was indeed one of a kind and truly known for her energetic smile and her enthusiastic personality.
Margie was unquestionably one of the easiest parishioner/friend I've ever had the privilege of pastoring, loving, and being around. I have only the fondest of memories and great times to reflect on.
I look forward to seeing her again in Heaven.
Much love to you all with God's grace for peace, joy, and happiness.
Preacher Phil Davis (North Carolina)
