Nancy was born on July 1, 1950, in Grenada, the daughter of the late Abner Lee and the late Lura Emma Foster Carpenter. She worked two and three jobs all of her life since she was old enough to work. She had numerous jobs over the years, but she loved being a manager at Country Mart in Louisville the most because she loved talking and meeting new people. Nancy loved her daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren; working at her pond and singing with her late husband, Brice, but most of all, she loved going to the casino. If you knew her, you loved her.
In addition to her parents, her husband, Brice Dempsey; her sister, Sandra McSheffrey, and one brother, Bobby Carpenter, preceded Nancy in death.
Survivors include, her daughters, Tammy Maycock and husband, David, of Louisville, and Tanya Taylor and husband, Beau, of Steens. One of Nancy’s greatest joys was being “Mamaw” to her three grandsons, Matthew (Noell) Maycock, Russ Taylor and Taylor Maycock; her five great granddaughters, Ryleigh Maycock, Cali Maycock, Shane Maycock, Leighton Maycock and Emily Pearson. She also leaves behind one brother, Jerry Carpenter, as well as her loving nieces, nephews, other family members and numerous friends.
