We are comforted knowing she is fully cognizant and free of Alzheimer's. Juanita Carter, 87, of Ardmore, passed away May 26, 2024, at Southbrook Nursing Center, Ardmore.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m.
Saturday, June 1, at Rosehill Cemetery, Ardmore.
Juanita was born May 1, 1937, in Fillmore to Sidney Luther and Bessie
Delaney (Chaney) Moore. She was the third of eleven children. She
attended Fillmore Schools where she loved playing basketball and loved
to tell you she was good at it.
Juanita married Don Carter in 1959. They lovingly raised three daughters
and cared for her mother-in-law, Ruby for 21 years. As a beautiful
example of family, she always welcomed Don's seven sibling and their
families into their home. She and Don owned Carter's Drapery for 20+
years. She retired from American National Bank after 34 years of
service. After retiring she enjoyed grandkids, family and working in her
garden. Alzheimer's took her on a journey, but she kept her beautiful
smile and twinkle in her eyes when family was around.
She is survived by Shirley Word and Nick Noble of Ardmore, Doneta Carter
of Ardmore, and Shelly Hicks and husband Todd of Overbrook; her greatest
loves, three grandchildren, Kenny Word and wife Caitlin, Amy Hicks and
fiancé James Busch, and Allison Hicks; great-grandson, Lucas Wolf Word;
seven siblings, Ethel Gray, Betty Bynum, Patsy Chapman and husband
Jimmy, Donnie Moore and wife Linda, Ronnie Moore and wife Eva, Alma "Pee
Wee" Purvis and husband Tommy, and Bobby Don Moore; many nieces and
nephews; and her extended family at Southbrook Nursing Center.
Juanita was preceded in death by her husband; parents; siblings, Wanda
Coats, Maxine Roberts, and Francis Luther "Bubby" Moore; niece, Alice
Tims; in-laws, Jessie "Jack" and Ruby Burney (Turner) Carter;
brothers-in-law, James Henry, Billy Dean, and Jack Jr. Turner; and
sisters-in-law, Jean Cole, Beryle Moore, and Muriel "Pill" Irons.
Our family greatly appreciates the great caregivers at Southbrook
Nursing Center in Ardmore, Good Shepherd Hospice in Ardmore, Legacy
Village Memory Care in Stillwater, and The Lodge Assisted Living Center
in Ardmore.
