Anthony Earl Carter was born on November 12,
1959 in Valley, Alabama to Mr. James Cornelious
Carter, Sr. and Mrs. Fannie M. Davis Carter. God
called our beloved brother, father, and grandfather
“Pops” home on Friday, December 13, 2024, at the
age of 65, after a courageous seven month battle with
congestive heart failure.
He was a 1977 graduate of Valley High School and
a 1979 graduate of Opelika State Technical College
receiving a degree in welding. Anthony was an
employee of West Point Stevens in Valley, Alabama
for more than 30 years. He later began working at
Kimberly-Clark Corporation in LaGrange, Georgia.
Anthony accepted Christ at an early age and was a
member of Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal
Church in Opelika, Alabama where he served as a
steward. As his health declined, Anthony became
a member under watchcare at Siloam Church
International in College Park, Georgia.
Throughout his life, Anthony was a devoted and
loving father who could always be counted on to
be there for his children, no matter where life took
them. Whether near or far, he made it a point to
be present in every moment; supporting, guiding,
and cheering them on with unwavering love and
dedication. His constant presence in their lives was
a true reflection of his deep commitment to family.
This commitment carried on to his grandchildren,
extended family and friends.
Anthony E. Carter was dedicated to his community
and a proud member of Modern Free & Accepted
Masons of the World, Inc. His involvement within
the organization was a significant part of his life,
where he embraced the values of brotherhood,
charity, and service. As a Mason, he gained a second
family, one that shared his commitment to helping
others and fostering mutual respect.
His contributions to Modern Free & Accepted
Masons of the World, Inc. and his impact on fellow
members were a testament to his character and
the generosity with which he lived his life. Notable
accomplishments include: Charter Member of Alpha
Lodge #008 and Heavenly Doves Chapter #1040, Past
Grand Master of Masons, Alabama, and Sovereign
Grand Inspector General of the Supreme Council of
the 33rd and Last Degree.
He was preceded in death by: his father and mother;

Cornelious Carter, Jr. and Michael Elroy Carter.
