Malinda was born in Winchester, VA on February 17, 1954. She loved all things about Virginia, especially the Shenandoah Valley and the Virginia Cavaliers.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dalton and Bertha Carpenter. Malinda is loving survived by her sisters, Enda Hamm of Manassas, VA, Cathey Robertson of Havre de Grace, MD, and Debbie Roberts of Hedgesville, WV. She is also survived by nieces Lisa (David) Elswick of Manassas, VA and Lyndsay (John) Putnam of Raleigh, NC, nephews Glen Hamm of Centreville, VA, Louis Robertson (Carrie) of Havre de Grace, MD and Jesse (Samantha) Roberts of Front Royal, VA, and three great nephews and three great nieces.
