Wanda Lee Carter

June 3, 1933 — February 9, 2025

Munroe Falls

Wanda L. Carter, 91, passed away on February 9, 2025.

Born in Imboden, VA, in 1933 she moved to the Cleveland area in 1951. She and her husband relocated to Charlotte, NC in the mid-1980's and then returned to Ohio in 2017 to be closer to family.

While originally in Ohio she founded the Community Christian Academy located at Bethel Temple in Parma. As the school's Administrator, teachers, students, and parents felt her love, compassion, and welcoming attitude. Many of them currently remain close friends and have stayed in touch through the years.

During her 30 plus years in Charlotte, she worked for the Heritage Foundation, and subsequently retired from Regent Carolina Corporation as the Vice President of RPCOA after twenty years of service.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Curtis Herron and Pearl Witt Corley; and her beloved husband, Billy Hayden Carter; her siblings, Gracie Joan Herron Sturgill, Gerald Curtis Herron, Lonzo Denver Herron, Darlene Heron Jarrell, Keith Bradley Herron, Dan Herron, Carl A. Corley, Jr., and Darrell A. Corley.

Wanda is survived by her son, Dennis (Connie); granddaughter, Lindsay Luli (Joey); two beautiful great granddaughters she described as the "JOY" of her life, Harper and Hayden; and a host of nieces and nephews.
