      She is survived by a son, E. Lee Carney and wife, Jean, of Liberty; daughter-in-law, Wanda Carney of Teays Valley; four grandchildren, Greg Carney and wife, Lori, of Liberty, Darin Carney of Cross Lanes, John Carney and wife, Tasha, of Charleston and Joey Carney and Cathy of North Carolina; six great-grandchildren, Whitney Carney, Blake Carney, Cameron Carney, Kaitlyn Carney, Josh Carney and Hanna Carney; sisters-in-law, Peggy Brotherton and Hevalene Lovejoy; and special cousins, Jean Fisher and Betty Carney.
