My Mamaw earned her wings & has flown straight to Heaven...
I am saddened, tearful, and at a loss...
but thankful for our time together, 29 1/2 glorious years.
We are all having a rough time, which is expected, please keep my little ones in your prayers, as it hurts me even more to see how upset they are and just trying to comprehend it all...
I wanted to share her obituary, my great uncle wrote it and I thought he did a sweet job...

“Sis” “ Mamaw” Carter lived her life in a very special way. She was the anchor for so many. Everyone was welcome in her home; no one was ever a stranger. She had a unique facet about her; she always found good in every one. She always had her faith in God and her undying love for her family. She had a calming effect on everyone who knew her. She also loved her little four legged friends. They were an integral part of her life and she cared for them as she would her children.
She will always have a place in the hearts of her family and in the hearts of so many who knew and loved her. For us as family, she will never be forgotten and will always be missed and loved. “Sis” as we on this earth say goodbye, we know the Lord, Joe, Bill, Mollie, and Patsy Ruth are saying hello and welcome home!
Pallbearers will be Greg Raper, Jayson Coward, Bart Jamar, Randy Morrison, Jodi Birdsong, and Oliver “Ollie” Kessel.

She sure did earn her wings! She had to put up with YOU! HA. Just kidding. I know how much you already miss her and you will. It is amazing that you had that long together. Cherish her memory. Make a book of memories about her while you remember every moment so that your children can "know" her. Trust me. Do it. You will be glad you did! I luv ya girl!
