Ann Royall Carter passed away peacefully in Grand Junction, Co surrounded by the love of the family she cherished throughout her life. A proud native of South Texas and the daughter of Reverend Kermit and Rebecca Gibbons, Ann carried the warmth, kindness, and strength of her roots wherever she went. She was also a beloved sister to Rosemary, Tom and John.<\/p>\n
Ann was the devoted wife of 44 years to Alex Carter and a loving mother to her children, Leesa, Aissa, and Stephen. She was a cherished grandmother of five and proud great-grandmother of four. Her family was the center of her life and her greatest joy.<\/p>\n
To know Ann was to know selfless love. She embodied the essence of caring for others\u2014always offering a kind word, a helping hand, or a warm embrace. She had a special way of making people feel welcomed, valued, and deeply loved.
A lifelong member of the United Methodist Church, she maintained a deep spiritual connection with her church and believed love was life\u2019s greatest purpose. She lived that belief every day. Through her example, she taught her family kindness, compassion, and generosity of spirit.<\/p>\n
She leaves behind a legacy carried forward by her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all those whose lives she touched. Though she will be deeply missed, the love she gave so freely will remain in the hearts of her family forever.<\/p>\n
She moved through life with joy, grace and an everlasting song in her heart.
Forever loved. Forever remembered. Gulb!<\/p>\n
Our family would like to express our thankfulness to the wonderful caregivers at HopeWest Hospice. In lieu of flowers we would prefer donations to be made in Ann\u2019s name to their organization.<\/p>\n
