Micki Joanne Carpenter
November 21, 1958-July 16, 2023
Micki (McKee) Carpenter, 64, of Chesterfield, passed unexpectedly at her home Sunday, July 16, 2023.
She was born November 21, 1958 in Anderson, the daughter of her beloved mother Wanetia (Warren) McKee. Micki was a lifelong resident of Chesterfield where she worked as a seamstress and tailor for Jim’s Formal Wear for 13 years before retiring in 2021. Prior she worked several years at the local Pizza King.
Micki had a wonderful sense of humor, enormous heart, and contagious smile. She enjoyed reading, crocheting, puzzles, her dogs, her small town, and above all else spending time with her friends and family, especially her grandchildren. Summer was her most favorite time of the year. She loved the warm weather and spending days out in the sun relaxing in the pool if it was above 86°, the long visits with her grandchildren, and celebrating the 4th of July.
She is survived by her husband, Troy E. Carpenter of Chesterfield whom she married December 28, 1986; daughter, Krista (Rob) Airey of Bloomington; son, Troy D. Carpenter of Chesterfield; three grandchildren Robert, Amelia, Bridget Airey; sister, Sharon (Jim) Swisk of Lansing; niece, Laurie (Tony) Swisk-Zerkle; nephew, Ross Carpenter; mother in law, Carole Deakyne; brother in law Kent (Kathy) Carpenter of Indianapolis.
She was preceded in death by her mother and brother, Robert J. McKee.
Visitation will be from 11 to 1 p.m. with a memorial service at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 22, 2023 at Chesterfield Christian Church with Ned Clark officiating.
