Katie Beth Carter

Katherine Elizabeth (Katie Beth) Carter, 18 a resident of Ringgold, passed away Monday, September 5, 2016 in an Atlanta hospital. She was an honor graduate at Heritage High School class of 2016 and was currently attending Jacksonville State University where she was majoring in Early Childhood Education. She was a member of City Church of Chattanooga where she volunteered in the church nursery because she loved children.

Her other passion was dancing and was a member of the Scenic City Dance Center as well as a member of the Jacksonville State University Marching Ballerinas. She loved her youth group at City Church, she loved to laugh, and she loved her family- especially family game night, but above all, she loved her Lord Jesus Christ.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her parents, Jason and Amy Carter of Ringgold; sister, Kimi Carter and brother, Jacob Daniel Carter and his fiancée, Rachel Rebne all of Ringgold, GA; grandparents, James Daniel and Gayle Carter of Ringgold; Debbie and George Anthros of Canton, GA, and Dan and Jane Green of Atlanta, GA; uncles, Noah Green of Atlanta, GA, Joey Anthros of Canton, GA, and Josh and Jennifer Carter of Bremen, GA.

The family will receive friends from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Thursday at the church prior to the service.
