James E. Carpenter, 79, of Aztec, passed away on Thursday, July 24, 2014, in Farmington. He was born Nov. 18, 1934, in Aztec, to James and Lillie Carpenter.
Our dad was a native of Aztec and spent his whole life there. He enjoyed gardening, horse-riding, and dancing, but most of all, spending time with his family. As of late, you could find him at the Senior Citizen's Center playing pool with his friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him!
He was preceded in death by his previous wife, Porfiria Carpenter; son, Danny Nelson; daughter, Ruby Riley; parents, James and Lillie Carpenter; brothers, Lee and Ray Carpenter; and sisters, Opal Tripplet and Janey Cozart.
James is survived by his wife, Wipha Carpenter; sons, Chris (Patty) Carpenter, Larry Carpenter (Tyler Spahr) of California; daughters, Shelly (Ron) Armstrong, Ellen Seymore, and Jackie Gardner; sisters, Doris Urcabach and Emma Schmatz; 10 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 31, at the First Baptist Church of Aztec, 700 Navajo St., with Pastor Larry Williams officiating. Interment will follow in the Aztec Cemetery.
James' care is entrusted to Cope Memorial Chapel of Aztec, 405 S. Main Ave., 505-334-9332.
