Mom, Nanny, Mickey
These are the three defining and enduring faces of Ruth Monica Carter.
Mom, who is loved and cherished by her family, passed away peacefully on August 26, 2021, at the age
of 87 and following a courageous fight with dementia.
Nanny was eternally devoted to loving and serving her large family of sons and daughter and their
spouses, grandchildren and their spouses, great grand children, and sisters and brothers and their
families. She cared deeply about the spiritual, mental, physical, emotional, and social well being of her
family and community. She expressed her care and love both in the example setting of her living and
the specific advice and guidance she gave freely and frequently (even to within a whisper of her
passing).
Mickey was a trailblazing university educated woman from Newfoundland who worked her entire life
while raising a family of four children. She was gloriously and fiercely independent, and a deeply
religious Catholic woman. Her faith guided her to be a tremendous role model and she will have a
positive impact on both her current and future generations.
Mom is survived by her four children (Daniel, Michael, Catharine, and Christopher) and spouses (Betty,
Lisa, and Jack). Nanny is survived by seventeen grandchildren and spouses and eleven great
grandchildren. She was the last of living sibling of her family.
Mickey, Nanny, Mom we love you and we will forever carry you with us. Rest in peace.
