Nancy Pearl Shrader was born 18 March 1947 and died 30 May 1966 with the
birth of her only Child, Melody Farrell. Doctors had told Nancy that her heart
was too weak to give birth to the child but she refused to have an abortion.
Rumors have it that James Farrell, the father of Melody, threatened to leave
her if she aborted their baby. Melody was raised by her Aunt Alberta, who
married Glen Sandy of Calhoun County 22 March 1985 in Wood County and resides
in North Carolina.
Taken from the Mowrey book: This family once own the land that became
Pipestem State Park, West Virginia.

Death: 5 Mar 2015 (aged 87)
Burial: Memory Gardens of the Valley, Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, USA
Memorial #: 143361688
Bio:
WEATHERFORD -- Wanda Moore Carpenter, 87, of Weatherford, went peacefully to be with the Lord, her husband, Curtis, and other loved ones Thursday, March 5, 2015, at her home.
Interment: Memory Gardens of the Valley, Weatherford.
Wanda was born October 27, 1927 in Paducah, daughter of Lawrence and Gertrude Grace Moore. She graduated from Paducah High School and moved to attend and graduated from a Business School in Fort Worth. Wanda married Curtis Carpenter in 1950, and they had many happy years together raising their family. They settled in Weatherford, a town she would call home for the next 65 years.
Wanda worked for Mutual Building and Loan Association for 42 years, first as a loan officer and retiring as Vice President. When she retired, she continued to make friends through her involvement in her church. She loved square dancing, line dancing, bridge, most recently bingo, and many other activities to keep her mind sharp and her feet moving. Some days you could even find her sitting on a bench at the local grocery store, just to say "Hi" to the people. To put it mildly, she loved people. Most importantly of all, she loved spending time with her family.
Wanda was a sharp dressed woman, who kept her hair appointment every week. To Wanda, it didn't matter how you felt, it only mattered how you looked, and if you looked good, the rest of the world wouldn't know any better. A little secret: her jet black hair was natural, she never let an ounce of hair dye get near her locks.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Curtis; her parents; her sister, Joyce Moore Hamilton; her brother-in-law, Kenneth "Poss" Hamilton; and her son-in-law, Rodney L. Coffey.
Survivors: Children, Carla Carpenter Coffey of Weatherford, Larry and Denise Carpenter of Willow Park and Scott and Sonya Carpenter of San Antonio; grandchildren, Curt and Mandi Coffey, of Rockwall, Cara Coffey of San Antonio, Caitlan Coffey of Weatherford, Colt and Shannon Bearden of Arlington, Ryan and Elayne Carpenter of Weatherford and Cassie and Mikaela Carpenter of San Antonio; great-grandchildren, Todd and Kate Jolley of Rockwall, Emma and Maya Coffey of Rockwall, and Bryson Carpenter of Weatherford; niece, Kena Hamilton; nephew, Kevin Hamilton; and many other loving family members and friends.
