Mrs. Jones was born on July 10, 1970 in West Palm Beach, Florida, the daughter of the late Thelma Virginia Boatwright Carter and Robert Taylor Carter. She was a fun loving person who enjoyed watching NASCAR races and driving fast cars! Even though she liked the excitement of racing she was just as happy out in the wilderness horseback riding. She was particularly fond of music of any kind. From opera to heavy metal, she appreciated the rhythms and melodies that could either calm her soul or cause her to jump for joy. All her life, she was devoted to her family, and especially enjoyed preparing wonderful meals for them. They were all especially fond of her fried chicken! It was her Lord Jesus Christ that was the most important part of her life. She claimed Him as God and Father, and rejoiced in her close personal relationship with Him. She will be missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her four sisters, Connie Brostoski of Franklin, GA., Pat Lavalley  of West Palm Beach, FL., Lynn Cannon also of West Palm Beach, Susan Richardson (Larry) of Franklin, GA., and Tami Tuel (Tim) of Franklin, GA.; three brothers, Bob Carter (Gail) of Vista, CA., Bill Carter of Orlando, FL., and Ray Carter of West Palm Beach, FL.; and step-daughter and granddaughter, Cassy and Kelsey Jones of West Palm Beach, FL.

Other than her parents she was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert Allen Smith, and Raymond Adkins.
