Obituary for ALICE M. CARTER
Alice Christine Morsell Carter, daughter of the late Charles W. Morsell and Blanche R. Morsell, was born on December 26, 1924 in Sunderland Maryland. Alice was called home on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at Calvert Memorial Hospital- Prince Frederick, Maryland- in the company of her daughter, Claudette.
Alice was educated in the public schools of Calvert County Maryland. She attended Mt. Hope United Methodist Church at an early age where she taught Sunday School and sang in the choir. Alice married Clyde Roosevelt Carter in 1947. From this union one child was born-Claudette Carol Carter Brown. Alice resided in Huntingtown until 1970 with her family.
One of Alice's favorite words was "industrious", and Alice was very industrious throughout several careers. She worked at the Pentagon in the records department. She was also an elevator operator from 1945 to 1948; a health aid in the DC Public Schools; and a Certified Nursing Assistant at Kensington Gardens, and the Calvert County Nursing Center, before retiring in the mid 1980's. Alice was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Gray Ray Post #220 for 55 years, and was the Acting President for two years. She was a caregiver to many, and was always available to help those in need. She could often be seen tearing up and down the road on her way to assist others.
She leaves to cherish her memories: daughter, Claudette Brown; granddaughter, Chelsa Brown; grandson, Shelton Brown; great-granddaughter, Hailey Jones; brother, Clifton Ray Morsell Sr; nieces, nephews, and their spouses: Crystal Chase; Linda and Dennis Wallace; Delores and Thomas Hicks; Judy Mackall; Sharlyn Briscoe; Angela Morsell; Allison and Marco Offord; Craig and Francine Morsell; Thomas E. and Veronica Morsell; Ronnie Morsell; Lionel and Celeste Morsell; Kelvin (Kellie) Morsell; Mae Morsell; Oreal Morsell; Thomas Herbert; Ricky Morsell; Michael Morsell; Dale and Timothy Morsell Sr.; Selena and Clifton Morsell Jr; Victor and Gwen Green; Judy Williams; Marsha Knapper; Sherman Carter, Gregory Carter; brother -in-Law, Irving Long; sister -in-Law, Shirley Long; special friend, Mary Claggett Downs; and a host of great Nieces and nephews, other family members, and friends.
Preceding her in death are: one sister, Gladys Morsell Herbert; and three brothers-Charles (Dunbar), Thomas (Tom) and Benjamin.
