Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Dorothy Carter. What a wonderful legacy she left her family and our community. Mrs. Carter led a life of integrity, faith, kindness, and compassion. Ms. Carter's family remain in my thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathy, Betsy B. Carr

We will always remember Granny. And we give condolences to the family! She was a warm and classy lady! We loved her pound cakes and her rum balls. And tickets to the Glorious Nights play at Christmas! We love Granny!. Frank and Ralphene Chamberlain

I will always remember Mrs. Carter as the Chief Officer of Elections at my precinct. She ran an efficient election operation. She treated all voters the same with great respect. Neither, Mrs. Carter nor the Election Officers under her were ever questioned with regard to the final count and their was always correct and the final were provided in a timely manner. Their integrity was above reproach.

To this true professional and civil servant, I offer my profound thanks for a job well done. Michael Brown, former Secretary of the Virginia Board of Elections
