She will best be remembered as someone who loved to have a good time, always enjoying the company of others, and was blessed in her life with many good friends.

She is also survived by her four brothers and sisters-in-law, Mike and Diana Carpunky and Mark and Pati Carpunky, all of Jerseyville, Tom and Tracey Carpunky of Godfrey, and James Carpunky of Jerseyville.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a grandson, Morgen Ryan Schroeder on Nov. 3, 2022; two infant sisters, Margaret and Louise Carpunky; an infant brother, Patrick Carpunky; and a loving companion, Roger "Tuffy" Goetten.
