WANDA M. CARTER, age 74, of Rutledge, TN passed from this life on Thursday, January 19, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. She will be missed by all her family and friends, but her life on this earth was just the beginning of a greater journey. She was a lifetime member of New Blackwell Baptist Church.

She is survived by her daughter, Vanessa (Darrell) Cox of Talbott; son, Adam (Melissa Foster) of Rutledge; sister, Opal Walker of Rutledge; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Her family would like to thank the kind and loving staff of Jefferson Health and Rehabilitation Center and the staff of Avalon Hospice.
