She remained steadfast and continued her walk with God until her death. She departed this earthly life suddenly and joined her Master on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Adele accepted Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior at a very young age and encouraged her siblings to do the same. Early in life, Adele moved to Baltimore, Maryland with her parents. She attended the Baltimore City Public School System, where she was a graduate of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. She furthered her education, studying and obtaining a certificate in Geriatrics Nursing and utilized her skills in private duty nursing. She held various domestic positions, but her true calling was to just be “Momma.” She met and married the late Melton Carter in June of 1952; and from this union eight children were born. Adele raised all of her family in the church and taught us to love the Lord at an early age. She was baptized and received the gift of the Holy Ghost early in her spiritual life under the leadership of the late Bishop Winifield A. Showell at the First Apostolic Faith Church. Adele fellowshipped at Faith Tabernacle and Bethel Temple House of God until she found her church home at Miracle Tabernacle Church of God under the leadership of the late Elder John Brown. Adele was a faithful member of her church and an active servant of God. She was the church secretary and organized many activities within the church. She often brought the whole neighborhood to Sunday’s services; always encouraging people to walk upright with God and allow Him to lead their path. She loved making beautiful music on her “washboard and tambourine.” Playing to old church hymns such as: Savior, Savior, Going up to Yonder, and By and By, Lord; which she always started her prayers off with. Adele was well known and loved in her community for her love and kindness which she shared with everyone. Her home was open to all! She happily took her children and neighborhood children to various outings without complaint. She enjoyed teaching the Word of God. She loved watching and rooting for the Orioles so much that she eventually became an employee at the Orioles Stadium. Baking cakes, cookies and pies was one of her many God given talents. She was also well known for her “sock it to me cake.” She established a family tradition of Sunday dinners which was always open to all. Everyone knew they could come to the Carter’s house every Sunday as well as holidays to get a good home cooked meal. Adele had a great passion for floristry. She was well known for creating beautiful floral arrangements for many years for funerals, church occasions, weddings as well as Mothers day; where her late son Nick and others would take them out to sell for her. In later years, Adele would organize day family trips every summer to King’s Dominion and other amusement parks. Family would come from all over just to get their seat. She successfully and easily filled two sometimes three bus loads a year. Adele had a loving and special bond with each of her grandchildren, and they each had a distinct and adoring relationship with her as well. She taught us the Word of God and brought us up in the church. She always reminded us to say our prayers at night and to ask God to save our souls. Adele spirit was loved by any and all who came in contact with her. She was a humble spirit who would give freely and expect nothing in return; she allowed God to fight her battles and order her steps. Adele was a virtuous woman who loved God and others unconditionally. She was a MOTHER to many and will be truly missed by all who were honored to have ever known her. Adele lived her life walking by faith in God and now has reaped her reward. “She has fought a good fight and kept the faith. Amen.” She was preceded in death by her husband, Melton Carter; son, Nicholas Carter Sr. and daughter, Betty Carter. She leaves to cherish her memory and continue her legacy to four generations: her children, Marty (Patricia), Mike, the late Nick Sr. (Winnie), Joe, Jean, Gordon (Jenny) and Eugenia Carter; seventeen grandchildren, two grandchildren-in-law, twenty-two great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren; one remaining sibling, Jake Price Jr. all of Baltimore, Maryland; one sister-in-law, Willie Mae Price of Chesapeake, Virginia; a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and special family members too numerous to name. She will sadly and surely be missed by all.
