With great sadness but deep love and trust in God’s eternal promise, Betty Carpenter, 88, of Vienna, WV, went to be with the Lord on July 28, 2026, at 3:50 in the morning. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her love, faith, and kindness will live on through her family who miss her every day.
