Elizabeth Virginia "Ginger" Carter transitioned on Sunday, July 16, 2017, at Sumter Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Born in Lee County, she was one of nine children born to the late Robert Carter Sr. and Dora Mae Brunson Carter. Elizabeth Virginia was educated in the public schools of Sumter County and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1967. After graduation, she relocated to Huntington Station, New York. She later returned to Sumter to assist with the care of her younger siblings. Elizabeth Virginia was employed with New Beginnings at Warth Child Care of Sumter (the former Warth Child Care Center). At an early age, Elizabeth Virginia joined Unionville AME Church in St. Charles, where she began her Christian experience. She later joined Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church of Sumter. Her endearing love for her children and family will last in their hearts throughout eternity.
