Margaret was a woman of unique passions and deep loyalties. She was a devoted friend to a circle of extremely close companions (and their children). A natural ring leader, Margaret could convincingly recruit unsuspecting friends into situations that made them wonder where they left their good senses, but never failed to leave lasting memories. She was also a lifelong lover of animals and an avid collector of turtles. To her nieces and nephews, she was the legendary “Cool Aunt.” She famously never wasted time with long goodbyes, often ending phone calls mid-sentence with a quick “OK Bye” and a click - a signature move that nearly kept her husband, Mickey, from calling her back after their very first conversation, though he thankfully changed his mind.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bud and Lucile; and her brother, Homer Carter.

Her memory will be cherished by her loving husband and caregiver, Mickey; her sister, Beverly Ann Carter Parker and husband, Mike; her sisterin- law, Linda Davidson Carter; her brother-in-law, Frankie Wynn and wife, Alita; and her sister-in-law, Jeanette Wynn.

She also leaves behind her beloved nieces and nephews, to whom her door was always open: Gina Downs (Ross), Amy Hoover (Roger), Michael Parker (Tracie), Holly Gay (David), Jonathan Parker (Paula), Robby Sanders (Janie), Wendy Langley (Lester), Bryan Carter, Kelly Carter, Lindsay Nijoka (Kyle), Tiffani Donohue, and Sara Parker.

She is also survived by numerous grand-nieces and grand-nephews, including her very special great-niece, Lilly, with whom she shared a wonderful date.
