Jennifer David
It with much sadness that the family
of Jennifer David announce the loss of
our beloved ‘Jennie’, the oldest daugh
ter of the George & Marie David fami
ly on Friday, February 4, 2022. Jennie
was born in Macon, Mississippi on
September 26, 1952, daughter of Marie
Elinor Alston (David) and David
Cresswell Carpenter, Jr. She was adopt
ed at a young age by
our ‘Daddy’ and spent
the rest of her life as a
vibrant and giving
daughter, sister, wife,
mother, and friend.
Through our parents’
love, Jennie became
our sister and their first of five daugh
ters, but through the trials of her life,
Jennie became the strongest one of all
of us, by far. From birth, Jennie was
afflicted with the rare Von
Recklinghausen’s disease (aka
Neurofibromatosis) but, thankfully, she
did not suffer from the more benign but
painful and ‘advancing’ symptoms of
this disease until the last few decades
of her life. Tragically, much more seri
ous symptoms afflicted both her beauti
ful daughter, Erica, and her playful son,
Keith, who died at the respective young
ages of just 3 and 30 years old. In addi
tion, as a very young mother, Jennie
gave away a child born before Erica
and Keith when she was only 17,
whom she never met, but was able to
build a long-distance relationship with
before he, unfortunately, also pre
deceased her. In spite of such tragedy
in her life, Jennie learned to find the
strength to endure, faith in God’s plan
for her life, and to love hard. She
LOVED her children and fought to give
them the best quality of life through all
of their medical battles... she LOVED
our parents - especially our doting
Daddy, who gave her his name and
always treated her as his own daugh
ter.... she LOVED her sisters, Dana,
Claire, Melanie, and Dorian -and her
brother, Cress... she LOVED her
adopted aunt, Deborah David Becotte
and the fond times they shared as
‘same aged’ children... she LOVED
her dear friends and helpful room
mates, Ricky, and Gary - and her other
close friends, ‘Peanut’, Lorraine, Kim,
Alicia, and Michelle ... she LOVED
her pets, especially Jen Jen, Banjo,
Oscar, Tucker, Sammy, and Snafu ....
And she loved the friends she made at
Foothills Personal Care Home, where,
on two occasions, Glenda Weaver and
her staff took care of Jennie and gave
her some of the best months of her
most recent years. Jennie’s other life
long ‘loves’ were nature’s peace and
beauty, and (like our mom), quilting,
decorating, cooking, and entertaining,
where her innate creativity shined.
During the last decade of her life,
Jennie also taught herself to paint,
bringing new meaning to her life and a
new creative outlet that gave her much
joy. Now the walls of Jennie’s home
and the homes of her friends and fami
ly are adorned with these amazing
‘self-taught’ paintings, bringing an
ongoing remembrance of Jennie to all
of us. Jennie is survived by: Her sisters
and brothers-in-law of Dahlonega:
Dana and Ben LaChance, Claire and
Garry Sharp, and Melanie Nelson; Her
brother, Cresswell David Carpenter III
and his wife Jean, of Duluth; Her 7
nieces and nephews: Chapin LaChance
(Meghan) of Breckenridge, Co; Naomi
Childs (Jason) and John Macbeth
(Lauren ) of Athens; Helen Cartledge of
Gainesville; George Cartledge of
Dahlonega; Taylor Hulsey of Asheville,
NC; and Mayson Northern (Louie) of
Atlanta, who gave her 8 amazing great-
nieces/nephews; Her paternal Aunt and
Uncle, Deborah Becotte (Juan/Bubba)
of Tifton, and Doug David (Susan) of
Ellijay, and their six children; and the
children of her mother’s seven brothers
and sisters. Jennie is pre-deceased by
her daughter, Erica Danielle Helton of
Gainesville; Her son, William Keith
Pounds and baby sister, Dorian Elise
David, of Dahlonega; Her parents,
George and Marie David, and husband,
William (Bill) Pounds, of Dawsonville;
Her father, Cresswell David Carpenter,
Jr. and her maternal grandfather and
grandmother, Marion Edward, Alston
and Alva Johnston Alston, of Macon,
Miss.; Her maternal aunts and uncles,
Buddy, Edith Anne, Charles, Sara and
Hilman, who lived throughout the U.S.;
Her paternal grandmother, Edna A.
Noblin, and paternal Aunt, Nancy
Noblin, both of Atlanta. Jennie will be
remembered as a strong, talented, and
loving person who was always willing
to help others in need in any way that
she could. This is why all of those
Jennie loved so ‘hard ‘we will miss her
so dearly. Her life will be celebrated in
the warmer part of this Spring via an
‘outdoor’ picnic and remembrance
gathering at the family’s treasured
Deerleap Falls, where four of her fami
ly members were married and the ashes
of her son were spread. If anyone wish
es to donate to a cause that was impor
tant to Jennie, please donate to The
Georgia Special Olympics which gave
her son, Keith, much pride and joy.
Anyone who wishes to join in the cele
bration of her life this spring, please
leave a request to do so on Jennie’s on
line Remembrances Page at Bearden’s
