Wanda Lee Carter

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.
