Morenike Carpenter

Averill Park___Morenike Carpenter, 33, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at her home.

Time is the most precious resource that we have here on Earth; we only wish that we had more time with Morenike.

She was loveable from the moment she was born. She was a very sweet baby with a silly little laugh that went with her silly little smile. As a little girl she made it a point to greet anyone and everyone. Her outgoing personality and heart of gold let those who knew her understand how much she loved them.

Morenike had the most infectious laugh and a never ending smile. She made friends with everyone who came her way. She was a talented singer and won several local singing competition's. Her beautiful voice, laugh and smile will be forever missed. Her bubbly personality made her the happiest person in the room. Her favorite part of life was time spent with her beloved son who she adored. They spent quality time together playing games, creating holiday crafts and taking "selfies" together.
To have known her was to love her, Morenike made life worth living for those who loved her. Morenike graduated from Guilderland High School in 2000 and is an Alfred State University Alumna where she studied Computer Graphics Design.

Morenike is survived by her precious son, Terrence Carpenter, her husband, Kenneth R. Carpenter, her mother and father, Tarosa and Rolando Andres, her brother, Rolando G. Andres and his girlfriend Alex Martin, sister, Jasmine Andres, sister-in-law, Amy Carpenter, mother-in-law Terry Carpenter, grandmother-in-law, Joan Mowers and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

She was predeceased by her grandparents, Christine and Stewart Engel, Willie Norman, Sr. Bayani and Lucila Andres, father-in-law, Terry Carpenter, grandfather-in-law, Kenneth Mowers.

A celebration of life for Morenike will be held on Friday, May 29, 2015 at New Comer Funeral Home at 5:00pm. A visitation will be held from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, prior to services.
