Pierce, Florida, she was a daughter of the late Benjamin Carroll Royals and Clyde Kirkland Royals. Mrs. Carter was a homemaker and a member of Antioch Community Church. Her children sing her praises as a mother and grandmother.

Marty will always remember his mother as the absolute best friend as well as a loving mother and grandmother, and for being a wonderful God-fearing woman. Her grandchildren, Patrick and Payton will always remember the good times they had fishing with their grandmother at Banks Lake.
