Nakie Rest in peace my friend. Josie Seward Dolphin strong Golden Girl
I find myself at a loss as we prepare to bid farewell to a phenomenal woman who was not just my friend's mother, and my godchild's grandmother, but also a second mother and a friend to me. I loved and respected her dearly. Mrs. Carter was a beacon of encouragement, always instilling confidence and a sense of pride in all who were around her. Her commitment to the community was unwavering, and her love knew no bounds. She was as funny as she was wise and always found ways to make me laugh. We already know her culinary skills are unmatched! Every moment with her felt like home, a warm and welcoming embrace that I will deeply miss. Mrs. Carter was the epitome of the Proverbs 31 woman, exemplifying strength, virtue, faith, wisdom, and love in every facet of her life. She was a shining of example of a mother and wife. Her devotion to Mr. Carter and her children was unconditional and endless. Remembering her today, and always, for the love, wisdom, and kindness she showered upon us all. Rest in peace my dear. "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."💔 Mr. Carter, Makeda, Aisha, Maurice, Nylla, grands, family and friends, my family shares in your heartbreak but we also celebrate the remarkable life of Mrs. Dorothy Carter. Thank you for sharing your gem with us. We love you. Brooke, James, Carter and Chance Berry

It is difficult to express how much Dorothy meant to me over the years. She always shed so much light into my life when I encountered difficult times. Her legacy lives on through the lives of her family. Glory, glory - she is resting from her labors.

My heart is with you all. Mrs. Carter was always kind to me, I looked forward to our conversations whenever I visited. I was also inspired by her commitment to keeping the Kwanzaa tradition alive. Heaven has gained an angel. God's peace and comfort to the family.

Auntie, you will truly be missed however your legacy will continue to live on and the wonderful memories, love, laughs, and history that you have giving to us ALL will forever be cherished in our hearts. I love you and will miss you a lot. Tamara, TreMani, Wy'ell, Scoota, & Jet
My sympathy and condolences go out to the family of Dorothy Carter. Dorothy worked as a teacher for Richmond Public Schools'Educare Program. She was very interested in teaching and helping students, especially those who had behavioral problems. Students looked up to her because she was 'Real' with them. She was instrumental in helping them to change their behavior and give them a new attitude. I am happy to have been her administrator while working at Educare. Dorothy became a close friend of mine and I will miss her. Her pleasant memories will be with me forever. If my wife, Gail, and I can be of any assistance during these trying times, please don't hesitate to call on us. May God continue to bless the family. Hugo Thompson
To the immediate family of my dear aunt Nakie. I know it's a big adjustment for you all. But if you can keep God first it will get better. Because the Lord don't put anything on us that we can't bare. I just want to let you know I love you all.
Arthur and Karen Stokes-Davis
Words cannot express the sadness I felt when I heard about the passing of my good friend and classmate. We met at James Solomon Russell HS and became instant friends because of our love of sports and clowning around in class. Mr. Atkins and Ms. Short were glad to see us graduate. "Stokes" was one of a kind. Everybody loved her. She will be greatly missed. RIP my friend. I will see you in heaven. My condolences to Dannie and the Family. Sorrowfully, Deborah Coleman Whitley9
