Eleanor Carter
Eleanor M. Carter of Anahola, Hawaii, and formerly of Phoenix, Ariz., died Oct. 2, 2002. She was 89. She resided with her daughter and son-in-law Judy and R.C. Smith in Aliomanu Estates. Mrs. Carter, better known as Granny, was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years Alpha G. (“Jug”) Carter, Jr. and a daughter, Joan Carter Morgan. She leaves seven children, Judy (Smith), A.G. Carter, Jeannie (Ryan), Jackie (Viquesney), Dr. Jim Carter, Jill (Demchak), and Jerry Carter. She also is survived by 22 grandchildren and 46 great grandchildren.
Granny was born on June 10, 1913, in Kansas City, Kansas and lived in Kansas City, Missouri for nearly 50 years, moving to Arizona in 1959. She relocated to Kauai earlier this year on a permanent basis, and had a special affection for Hawaii and her many friends on-island. She was a devoted mother and was “Granny” to the entire Carter Clan. She was raised in Kansas City, graduated from Central High and attended the University of Kansas where she was a faithful member of Alpha Xi Delta Sorority. She was a lifelong Catholic and was married to “Jug” in Annunciation Church in Kansas City, Missouri in 1932. In Arizona, she was a member of St. Theresa Parish for 43 years and on Kauai she was a member of St. Catherine’s Parish. Granny loved to swim, aquacize, play golf, and was an excellent Duplicate Bridge player. She traveled extensively, most recently on cruises to the Mediterranean, and to Alaska, and as part of a 25-member family tour to China. A funeral mass will be celebrated at St Theresa’s in Phoenix on Oct. 18, 2002, and burial will be next to her beloved husband at St. Francis Cemetery.
A memorial celebration will be conducted at the Anini Beach Pavilion for her many Kauai friends on Saturday, Oct. 12, at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to the very caring Wilcox Hospital ICU in Lihue.
