Anna Mae Carter

ST. GEORGE, UT - Anna Mae Carter, 87, passed away Monday, October 8, 2018. She was born March 23, 1931, in Los Angeles, California to Ejnor and Oma Rupp Cook. She married Wildon (Bill) J Carter, December 2, 1950, Las Vegas, Nevada.

She was raised on a small farm in Lancaster, California. She met Bill (Air Force Airman) at Edwards Air Force Base in California where she worked as a maid, he was her supervisor. While stationed there she gave birth to five children. They moved around the United States to various locations and Puerto Rico. Bill deployed to Korea, Viet Nam, and various other locations, while Ann raised her children alone until he returned. She was a devoted mom to her children, we never knew we were poor. She gave all her time, money and energy to her children. After moving to St George to supplement her income she worked at JC Penney’s and Evelyn’s for many years in the women’s department.

Anna was an avid bowler and played on various teams in the local bowling league. She won many personal and team awards. She finally gave up bowling when her arthritis made it too painful to continue. She loved spicy Mexican food and would always set the dinner table with hot peppers.

She was “the best mom in the world” with endless hugs and kisses. You always felt her unconditional love.

She is survived by her spouse Wildon (Bill) Carter of St George, UT, children: Danny (Trudy) Carter of Salt Lake City, UT, Kathy (Rick) Roche of St George, UT, Frank (Susie) Carter of St George, UT, Nancy (David) Theobald of Toquerville, UT, Sister Betty Ledbetter of St. George, UT and Brother Olin Cook of San Diego, CA, 13 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren.
