Clarence & Mabel Carter

Clarence and Mabel left this world within hours of one another. With over 71 years together in life and love, they now have an eternity together in heaven. They leave behind their loving family of four children: Joseph Lee, Timothy Owen (Dixie), Karen Burgess, and Lorrie Lewis (Joe); six grandchildren: Tony Burgess (Dina), Kellie Watson (Chance), Sherry Burgess (Daniel), Carlie Lewis, Shanna Burgess (Matt), and Austin Davis; and four great-grandchildren: Ashlin-Paige Burgess, Kenlie Watson, Jacob Burgess, and Luke Puczylowski. Mr. Clarence Carter, who retired from A&P Grocery after 37 years of service, was also a distinguished World War II Veteran; Mrs. Mabel Carter was employed by Roses Department Store for many years, where she was cherished for her dedication and warmth. Mr. and Mrs. Carter also had a deep love for the Lord, and enjoyed spreading the Word of God; they were beloved members of the Lafayette Baptist Church, where their humbleness, hardworking attitude, and caring demeanor endeared them to everyone they met.
