Ann King Carter

Ann King Carter, a beloved member of her family, left this world on September 17, 2024, at the age of 80. Born on March 17, 1944 she dedicated her life to service, love, and friendship. Ann was of the Baptist faith and loved her Lord.

Ann retired after an impressive thirty-year career with the Lorillard Tobacco Company, also she owned and operated AC Florist and Gifts. Through her floral business, she brightened the lives of countless individuals with beautiful arrangements, showcasing her creativity and passion for bringing joy to others.

Family was the heartbeat of Ann's life. She cherished each moment spent with her loved ones, placing great importance on those connections. Her daughter, Penny Baldwin, and son-in-law Arnold, along with her granddaughter, Ashley Baldwin, and Jermaine, brought her immense happiness. Ann took pride in being a great-grandmother to Kinna and Jamiyah McCain, who undoubtedly filled her life with laughter and joy. Ann's unwavering love extended to her dear sister, Brenda Davis, and her cherished uncle, Jerry Allison. She was also never without the companionship of her furry friend, Heidi, who was always by her side.

In addition to her loving family, Ann is now reunited with her beloved husband, Thomas "Ted" Carter, whose memory she held close. She is also preceded in death by her sister, Janet King, and her parents, Weldon King and Hazel Allison King, who laid the foundation of love that she carried throughout her life.

Ann found joy in simple pleasures; she loved fishing and tending to her garden, where she found peace among the blooms. Her vibrant spirit and warm smile will be missed by those who had the privilege to know her.
