The world was made brighter when the late Mr. and Mrs. C. T., Sr. and Ella Lee Rockwell were blessed with the birth of a daughter. Our beloved Patricia Rockwell Carter, affectionately known as “Chap”, was born January 4, 1959 in Warwick, Georgia.

Patricia was educated in the Worth County Public School System. Early in her life, Patricia accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined the Blue Springs Baptist Church. Later in her life, Patricia joined Miracle Baptist Church, where she attended until her health failed.

To know Patricia was to love her because she loved everybody and would help anybody. She had a heart of gold, and she never met a stranger. Patricia was a mother who loved her children, grandchildren, her family, and all who knew her.

Patricia was joined in Holy Matrimony to Mr. Eddie Carter.

On Thursday morning, June 30, 2022, Patricia heeded the Master’s call to come home to Eternal Rest. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. T., Sr. and Ella Lee Rockwell, three brothers, Johnny Rockwell, James Rockwell, Henry Rockwell, two sisters, Louise Griffin, Mae Ola Rockwell, have all preceded her in death.

Patricia’s journey on this side will forever be remembered by her loving and devoted children, Ms. Angela Rockwell, Mr. Kentatious Carter, Mr. Darius Carter; her grandchildren, Tre’Sean Jefferson, K. J. Stephens, Aamari Spann, Trent Carter, Landon Carter, Monique Judge; her beloved brothers, Mr. C. T. Rockwell, Jr. (Earnestine) of Warwick, Georgia, Mr. Curtis Rockwell (Josie) of Leesburg, Georgia; her beloved sisters, Ms. Ora Lee Morris of Warwick, Georgia, Ms. Loistene Griffin of Cordele, Georgia, Mrs. Dorothy Smith (Rev.
