Julia Carr West, age 73, of Watha left this earthly life for her eternal rest on Tuesday, August 26, 2014 from Lower Cape Fear Hospice.

She was born August 1, 1941 in New Hanover County and was the daughter of the late Currie T. and Julia Elizabeth Matthews Carr.

Mrs. West was a primary school teacher in Pender County for many years and a member of Hopewell Presbyterian Church.

Surviving are her children, David West and wife, Dana of Watha, Ben Wells and wife, Judy of Columbia, SC, James C. Greene and wife, Sandra of Lexington and Martha West. She was also blessed with nine grandchildren.

Julia was a devoted mother and caring grandmother who loved her family dearly. A woman of uncommon character, beauty and grace; and to those who knew her, "an instrument of God's love on this earth." She enjoyed cross stitching, crocheting and collecting various figurines. Julia will surely be missed but treasured memories of her will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
