Wilma Rose Carter, 97, of Chesterfield, VA went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, in Richmond, VA. She was born on September 5, 1928 in Sweetwater, Tennessee to the late William Lester Mills, Sr. and Sarah Alice Mills. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Henry Clay Carter; son, Thomas Edwin Carter; daughter-in-law, Diane Smith Carter; son-in-law, Robert Daniel Harrell, Sr.; grandson, Christopher Michael Harrell, Sr.; and siblings: Lucille Mills, Georgie Sutphin, Mildred Millis, Billy Mills, and Betty Marshpund.

Wilma was a hardworking and deeply compassionate woman whose generosity touched everyone around her, a true philanthropist who gave freely of her time, love, and resources. A very devout Christian, she lived her faith daily through kindness, service, and unwavering care for others. Wilma had a remarkable gift for remembering every birthday and anniversary, making each person feel valued and special.

She loves music we played the Radio everyday at work
and we would talk about the places she had been and how passionate she was about her Faith
she would never forget to give me a hug and kiss she would give me Bible verses and hand me her Bible to look it up Then she brought me in a little Trinket Box and inside it was Bible Verses all different and she told me to get one out everyday
she never forget my Birthday or Christmas there would never be another Like Her in my Heart 💕🌹
Bobby 💜 Kathy thank you for Bringing Aunt Rose 🥀 up at work to see us ( Me ) after she finally Retired 🌟 Treasure Forever

Mrs. Carter I love you. Tell my deddy and Mr. Smith that we are hanging in there. I can only imagine when you woke up in Heaven and you have a new body, new voice and you are looking around in amazement at everything and then you hear those words “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” And I know WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT those were the words spoken to you. You were always kind and went out of your way to help others. You loved the LORD with all your heart. I have missed seein you the past 2 years (Nov 23 till now) but I know where you are and I praise GOD that I had the opportunity to know you. You made everyones life around you better. I could go on and on about you and your kindness. GODspeed. Kathy, Butch and the rest of the family, I am so very sorry for your loss. She was special and I dont have to tell any of you that. I called her the Dick Clark of our church cause she just kept going and going and never stopped. I joked with her about that and she would just smile and laugh. I always gave her a hug and she would kiss my cheek and I would tell her I loved and she said I love you too. If theres anything I can do please let me know.

I am sorry for the loss of a wonderful lady. I grew up beside her when I was young. She had 3 wonderful children. I loved all of them. She was such a great person.
