Lucille Marion Evans

Mrs. Lucille Marion Evans, age 81 of Cana, Virginia, passed away on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at the Joan and Howard Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson. Mrs. Evans was born on October 25, 1943, in Cana, Virginia to the late Lela Mae and William Henry Marion, Jr. Lucille was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Surviving are her children Danny and Julie Carpenter of Statesville, North Carolina, Jennifer and William Harold of Cana, Virginia, her grandchildren Danielle Carpenter, Quinn Fable and Dustin Vaughn, Kell Harold, and Alexis and Brandon Pearson, and great-grandson Cael Sinclair; brother James Edsel and Louise Marion, and sister-in-law Betty Marion. In addition to her parents, Lucille was preceded in death by her husband George Kellock Carpenter, sisters and brothers-in-law, Opal and Reuben McCraw, Edith and Harlie Jones; and her brothers and sisters-in-law, Walter and Beverly Marion, and Jimmie Marion.

Lucille left a life-long legacy of caretaking for family, both young children and elderly relatives, community service volunteering her time and donating to charities that help those that she thought needed it the most, and never saying, “No,” when someone asked for help, guidance, mentorship, or prayers.
