Billy & Jenny Carter

Jennifer Lynn Lower Carter
Jenny was born on October 8th, 2001, at Gritman Memorial Hospital in Moscow, Idaho. Right from the beginning we knew there was something special about her. As an infant Jenny developed several food allergies making eating a challenge, she learned at a very young age not to eat anything without asking permission first. She didn't let this slow her down, instead it taught her compassion for those with trials before most kids even knew that other kids had trials.
Jenny loved music from a young age, she went to her Aunt's band concerts at USU before she even could walk. At her baptism in 2009 her Aunt let her "play" her flute and there was no turning back, she knew what instrument she wanted to play. While she waited to be old enough to join the band she began piano lessons, and played the viola for a few years. In 6th grade her dreams came true when she joined the band and she started playing the flute. From there she learned to play the piccolo, tenor and soprano saxophone, and clarinet. But the flute remained her first love.
Jenny graduated with honors from Preston High School in 2020, her plans to serve an LDS mission were thwarted by migraine headaches so she decided it was time to get on with her life and go to college in 2022. She attended the University of Oregon, where she performed with the marching band. She met some of her best friends in the marching band, people who would become a second family to her, who she loved dearly. She graduated in 2025 with a degree in music, and had plans to pursue a career as a piano technician.
On February 28th, she went on a blind date with a group of her friends from church. Her date was Billy Carter, who would become the love of her life. She fell hard and fast for the quiet young man who made her smile. Meeting Billy brought Jenny so much joy. The happiest times of her life were spent with him. The two were married November 8th in the Portland LDS temple. From the moment they married, until the moment they walked into eternity together, they were never apart. You only had to look at Jenny to see the joy shining from her countenance. Billy's love made that shine blindingly bright. It was a privilege to see them so happy together.
Jenny was a devout Christian and a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her faith was the guiding force in her life, the source to which she turned for comfort, and the reason she stood out as a place of peace in a chaotic world. Jenny lived her life with the knowledge that she was preparing to return to her Heavenly home. We can so clearly picture the joyous reunion between Jenny and the grandparents she adored. We are sure she beamed with pride as she introduced her Billy to them.
Jenny is survived by her parents Thomas and Rebecca Lower, her siblings Tommi Lower, Nikki Lower, Katie (Kole) Grossnickle, Danni Lower and Emmie Lower, Her niece Annie, nephews Teddy and Thad Vance-Lower and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
We were not ready to say farewell to our Jeffy. Her light will be keenly missed and our lives will never be the same.
Until we meet again, sweet Jennybean.
