Sandra A. Carpenter, age 64 of Dillsboro, died Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at Ripley Crossing. Born June 2, 1954 in Batesville, she is the daughter of Mary (Nee: Schath) and Earl Schutter Jr. She married Wade Carpenter Sr. May 18, 2002 in Dillsboro. Sandy worked 38 years at the Hill-Rom Company as a material handler before retiring in 2016. Sandy was an animal lover and especially loved her dogs. She also liked to embroider and quilt. She’s made numerous baby quilts and embroidered pieces for family and friends over the years. A Bengals fan who liked listening to oldies rock and roll, she was also an incredible cook whose lasagna is tough to beat. Wade explained that Sandy was content being a homebody and possessed a green thumb. Saturday’s mornings, however, were reserved for grocery shopping! She is survived by her husband Wade; son Jason Paine of Palm Bay, Florida and nine grandchildren. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her sister Cheryl Bottorff. Sandy’s wishes were to be cremated. There will be no services, but the family will receive friends Wednesday, June 5th, from 2 – 5 p.m. at the funeral home.
