ELIZABETH COLEMAN CARTER

Family and friends will gather at Lakeshore Baptist Church on Friday, November 
16th at 11:00 AM to celebrate the wonderful life of Elizabeth Coleman Carter.

Visitation will precede the service at 10:00 AM.

The Reverend William Smith will officiate. A family grave side service will be 
held Thursday, November 15th in Forest, Mississippi.

Lib, as she was fondly known, was born on February 1, 1921 in Branch, 
Mississippi and passed away on Monday, November 12, 2012. She was the only 
child born to Mary Ellie and Walter Edgar Coleman and with her smiling blue 
eyes was always called "Baby".

Elizabeth spent her childhood in Mississippi attending Forest High School 
where she excelled in track and basketball. She attended MSCW and graduated 
from Mississippi College. In 1943, she married her childhood sweetheart, 
Hamlet Carter, and they began a life together with his career in the US ARMY. 
Lib loved the military life and in 1966, when Ham retired, she began her early 
education teaching career in Monroe, LA. She was the director of Covenant 
Presbyterian Day School and remembered many of her students until the end of 
life. She loved teaching children, being a homemaker, gardening and playing 
bridge.

Lib was mother to four children, Hamlet III (Buster), Edgar, Ellie and Nancy 
Bea. She was an active member of Lakeshore Baptist Church where she taught 
Sunday School for 30 years. With God's grace she was truly a "Light unto the 
world".

She was preceded in death by her beloved, Ham and one son, Buster.

Survivors include her children, Edgar C. Carter (Nancy), Ellie Carter M. John 
(Howard), Nancy Carter Holloway (Don); her grandsons, Edwin S Moberley 
(Courtney), R. Carter Moberley (Jennifer), Matthew Carter, Benjamin Carter and 
Coleman Holloway; one granddaughter, Robin Nicole Holloway and three great 
grandchildren, Julia Elizabeth Moberley, Luke Stuart Moberley, and Elle 
Julianne Moberley. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Sarah Carter S 
Naugher of Pontotoc, Mississippi.

Serving as pallbearers will be her grandsons, Edwin, Carter, Matthew, Benjamin 
and Coleman.

There is no greater love than that of a mother and our wonderful memories of 
her will live on in the next generation. She will be deeply missed by all of 
us.

The family thanks the Deerfield Nursing & Rehabilitation Nursing Center in 
Delhi, Louisiana for their loving care these past few years. Thank you, 
Queenie.

Memorials may be made to Lakeshore Baptist Church, 308 Lakeshore Drive, 
Monroe, LA 71203 or the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum, 701 Kansas 
Lane, Monroe, LA.

"The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains".
