Louise was born in Kingsport, TN on June 27, 1934, and lived in Kingsport all her life. She attended Vernon Heights Baptist Church for 50+ years and then attended Gravelly Baptist Church. Louise loved the Lord and lived her life for him. She was the assistant manager at Bon Worth for many years and retired at 73 years old after many years of service. She loved to cook and was known for her Banana Split cake. Louise was an avid reader and has probably read over 10,000 books. She and her late husband Buddy loved to travel and had been to 49 states. She was a wonderful wife, loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who always put her family first.
She was preceded in death by her parents Frank and Mabel (Dorton) Meade; husband, Buddy C. Carter; and her brothers, Ott, Gilmer, and Frank Jr. Meade.
