Hello Carpenters,
I was sent an obituary image from England. I also found it online, please see below.
The obit is a brief but tender note that a mother and grandmother has passed away. And
that she liked bright colors.
Sadly, there is not enough information to really identify her or her ancestry. I cite
below her obit, some possibilities that may have been her. These possibilities are very
low probability and makes assumptions that are not in evidence. For example: Was Carpenter
her maiden or married name?
If anyone knows her or her family, it would be nice to document her ancestry.
I hope and pray that we will remember and document our deceased loved ancestors. Including
those rogues and rascals.
I wish all of you the best!

CARPENTER Maureen.
A much loved Mom and Nan to Sarah, Robert, Debbie, Zoe and Joe.
Forever in our hearts.
Sadly passed away June 18, 2019, aged 79 years.
Funeral Service to be held on August 9, at Christ Church, Tettenhall Wood, at 12 noon.
Family flowers only, donations to Compton Care. Please wear bright colours to the Funeral
Service.
Sadly there is not much else on line.
Making assumptions that Carpenter is her maiden name and she resided only in
Staffordshire, the following records may pertain to her. But again, these are only
assumptions. And this by ruling out those Maureen Carpenters whose deaths are on record.
By default, the following Maureen Carpenter records may have been her. But there is no
evidence suggesting any of this correct.
