I’m so sorry to learn of Carter’s passing. I was fortunate to work with her for years. She was a very special person and I will smile every time I think of her. Peace and love to all of her family and friends.
I am so sorry about Carter’s untimely passing. I met Carter in June 2015 at the West Virginia Writers Conference. She was so inspiring and so full of life. Everything about her was beautiful and kind, even into her eighties. She was a true delight. I looked forward to seeing her every year at our annual summer conference. Even when her health was failing, she was still writing and still reaching out to help other writers. I will miss her dearly.

My condolences to Carter's family. In October she sent me a beautiful sympathy note for the passing of my husband, Walter Carter, HHS '58.
To Dorothy Ann and family, I want to express my deepest sympathy to all of Carter's family. I have known Carter since her days at Appalachian Craftsman, when my sister worked for her. Our friends loved shopping there, and I still have my patchwork Christmas Tree Skirt after all of these years. I was living in Atlanta when Carter lived there and saw her at several events there, including the Marshall Atlanta Alumni outings. Carter and I have been in touch often over the years, as recently as a few months ago. She certainly was a very talented and independent woman who will be missed by all who knew her. May God Bless her family.
My name is Betty Scott Ireland, daughter of Virginia Hawkins Ireland of Huntington. I am one of the many Hawkins cousins in the area and want to send my deep condolences to Carter's family. I loved Carter -- she and I sat together just a few months ago at the Univ of Charleston where she was speaking about her life and her many books. She had just finished writing "Wednesday's Child", and I am so glad I was able to buy a copy of it before she passed. Carter was a force of nature -- the world will miss her and her spirit.
