Winnie was born to Flon and Goldie Carter of Chase City, VA. She graduated from Radford University with a degree in Elementary Education. She had 4 brothers.
Winnie enjoyed teaching and even taught in Japan for a year. When Winnie married her husband, Bill, he did not have a college degree, so she paid for him to go to Virginia Tech University with her teaching salary of $3,000 a year (1956). Once children came, she was a stay at home mom but continued to teach at preschools wherever Bill’s job took them. She loved sewing and any type of craftwork. She was an avid gardener and loved helping with church dinners on Wednesday nights. She was always active in church wherever they moved and taught children's Sunday school for many years. She also loved reading a good book while sitting in the swing on their front porch.
Winnie is survived by her daughter, Victoria Mosley and son in law, David, two grandchildren, Logan (20) and Christian (19) of Apex, NC
A memorial service for Winnie will be held Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at 2:00 PM at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home, 200 Southeast Maynard Road, Cary, NC 27511.
