Mrs. West lived her lifetime in Carthage and was a longtime member of the Central Baptist Church where she sang in the sanctuary choir since 1933, was a member of the former Esther Sunday School Class and later the Faith Sunday School Class, played in the Heavenly Chimes hand bells, sang with the Silver Tones, and was a member of the S.K.I.T. Club. Mrs. West worked as a dental hygienist for over 44 years and was a member of the national and state dental hygienists associations. Mrs. West was also a member of the Master Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Margie Baldwin; her brothers, Jamie Roy Murphy and Harold Lloyd Murphy; and one nephew, Kenneth Edward Baldwin, Jr.
