Lovie Carter Obituary
Lovie worked faithfully for many years as a nurse's aide and later as a school bus driver in Rolling Fork, Mississippi. In her spare time, she enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and watching Gunsmoke.
A devoted Christian, Lovie cherished her faith and, in recent years, found comfort and joy in worshiping through television with the Family Worship Center church family and Rev. Jimmy Swaggart.
A graveside service will be held at 10:00 AM Thursday, January 22, 2026 at the Elliott Baptist Church Cemetery with Pastor Michael Payton officiating.
Survivors include a son, Glen Allen Porter of Elliott.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, James Clyde "Jimmie" Carter; daughter, Sharon Porter and three sons, Leonard Lee Porter, Carl Clarity and Ronnie Clarity.
Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.mckibbenandguinn.com.
Arrangements have been entrusted to McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada, (662-307-2694).
