Elma was a very special Christian to us. We had a lot of fun together at various fellowship events. Elma was always happy and enjoyed being with her Calvary Baptist family members. She always liked to set in a certain place at Worship services. If she was not in her seat she was dearly missed. Elma was a model to all of us as she never showed worry or stress. She enjoyed her home. She dearly loved her Son Gary and going to spend time with him and family. We will truly miss her. Bill and Myrtle Taylor

GARY CARTER: Your mom called us about 5 weeks ago to come & pickup some walnuts. So I took your mom some unsalted cashews and some peach jam that Ken had made. She was so glad that we came. We had a good visit with her. She looked good and was getting around very well. She had finally eaten all the candy that the Forever Young had given her a surprise 96th birthday party for her. She lived a good life. Her nephew was a helpful blessing to her. He helped her so much.

We will miss your mom dearly. She was such a dear lady. We would ask her if she was coming to Church and she would say that she was planning on it but for some months she wasn't able to come.

Elma was a wonderful friend. We were bowling teammates for many years. Our trips to State and National Tournaments are filled with happy memories. We were like sisters. I will always cherish the memories we made together. Love to my friend forever. .Wanda Loman

lElma has been a special friend of mine since I first met her when I was asked to bowl as a sub on a team (Tom's Peanuts) at Ozark Lanes in the fall of 1961 and ended up being on the team as a member along with Wanda Loman, Joan Johnson, and Mary Conrad. We had so much fun bowling every Monday night, bowling in city tournaments, state, and national tournaments all over the country with the first one being in Memphis in 1953 where our team was scheduled to bowl at midnight. Elma was the best bowler so she was always our "anchor" person. She also was a "coach" for the rest of us when we "were not on our game." I have a picture of her, Joan, and I in the red bowling shirts we wore when bowling in Florida and what fun we all had taking in Disneyworld.. Even after she stopped bowling, I have stayed in touch with her from time to time. I am reminded that "it's the friends we meet along the way that make this journey in life so special." Elma Carter was one of those friends and I consider her friendship as a special one. I shall forever remember her. (Marjorie Niblock)
