Charlotte Tate-Carter Obituary
A celebration of life will be held at a later date with family and friends.
Charlotte was born Sept. 16, 1928 in Corona, Calif. She and then husband Bill Tate moved to Alaska in 1969 with their three children to pursue work in the Prudhoe Bay Oilfields. In 1972, she and her family opened the first doughnut shop in Anchorage at the corner of Arctic Boulevard and International Airport Road. After selling the doughnut shop in the mid '80s, Charlotte embarked on a career in accounting for several large hotels in the Anchorage area. In 1998, prior to retiring from the Westmark Hotel, Charlotte met the love of her life, Daniel Carter. They were married the following year and have never been apart.
Charlotte enjoyed her audio books, knitting, traveling, discussing current affairs and her family.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her daughter, Michelle Alfano; and daughter-in-law, Pamela Marshall-Rogers.
Charlotte is survived by her loving husband, Daniel Carter; sister, Eunice Burns-Johnson and her husband, Marshall, of Lodi, Calif.; oldest son, Michael Humes and wife Desiree of Big Lake; son, Patrick Humes of Las Vegas, Nev.; stepson, Chad Carter and wife Dawn of Tennessee; son-in-law, Billy Patrick of Big Lake; six grandchildren and their spouses; six great-grandchildren; and loving family friend, Kathleen Ulmer.
