She was born on August 10, 1934 in Winston-Salem, NC, the daughter of the late William Turner Carter and Nellie Annie Carter. In addition to her parents a sister, Lynda Totten, preceded her in death.

She attended Gardner-Webb University and studied voice at UNC Chapel Hill. She grew up in Elkin, NC and lived most of her life in Greensboro and Jamestown. Since 2003, Anne was a resident of River Landing at Sandy Ridge.

Mark Carter Hicks (Laura); grandchildren Stephanie Gray Hodges (Mike), Kevin Thomas Gray, Sarah Beth Hicks and Emily Anne Hicks; a great-granddaughter, Clara June Johnson; and a brother, Robert Turner Carter. She was anticipating the arrival of her first great-grandson, due next month.

Anne was a kind and joyful spirit. She was a woman of faith who was devoted to her family. She grew up in the Baptist church where she served as a Sunday school teacher and Sunday school superintendent.  Anne was known for her beautiful singing voice and throughout her life was a soprano soloist for numerous weddings, funerals, and church and community musical performances. In 1973, she joined Jamestown United Methodist Church where she was active in the UMW, taught Sunday School, and sang in the chancel choir for more than 30 years. 

The family wishes to express appreciation to all her friends in the River Landing community and her caregiver, Lara Liddell. A private graveside service will be held for family and friends.
