Always called Nana, she enjoyed cooking for her grandsons, going to basketball games to watch her granddaughter play, and shopping with her daughters. She loved planting and growing flowers. Her home-cooked meals along with hugs were always enjoyed by her family.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Susie Daniels; grandson, Justin Daniels; Brother, Cecil Carpenter; Brother, Earl Carpenter, Jr.; Sister, Louise Banner and Sister, Mary Banner.
