Helen Beemie Miss Carpenter

Wadesboro - Miss Helen Renay Beemie Carpenter, 46, died Tuesday, February 25, 2016, at CMC Union Hospital in Monroe, after complications from surgery. Funeral services will be 2:00PM Saturday in Victory Baptist Church of Rockingham with Rev. Russell Edwards officiating. Interment will follow in Gum Springs Baptist Church Cemetery of Lilesville, NC. The family will greet friends Friday from 6:00 to 8:00PM at Leavitt Funeral Home. Born December 16, 1969 in Richmond County, Beemie was a daughter of Larry Frank and Catherine Brooks Carpenter of Wadesboro. She was a graduate of Bowman High School and was licensed as a Certified Nurses Assistant working several years at Lillie Bennett Nursing Center. Beemie enjoyed being with and helping people of all ages but none more so than children. She also loved her church and took much pleasure in some good natured teasing of her pastor, Russell Edwards. Beemie enjoyed a close relationship with her family and looked forward to any occasion where they could fellowship together. Her outgoing personality and over-sized heart endeared her to many outside her family. She had a soft spot for animals, especially cats, and spent a good deal of time taking care of strays and finding good homes for them. In addition to her parents, Beemie is survived by a brother, Todd Carpenter (Lorraine) of Laurel Hill; two sisters, Tammy Murdock (Tommy) of Morven and Ann Carpenter of Wadesboro; and four nephews, Nathaniel Carpenter, Toddrick Carpenter, Nicholos Carpenter and Randy Murdock. Memorials may be made to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105; or to the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312.
