Janet Nichols Carter

Janet Nichols Carter, 76, passed away Tuesday, August 13, 2019, at St. Vincents Hospital in Middleburg. The second child of six born to Myrtice Crosby Nichols of Brooker, Janet was a 1962 graduate of Bradford High School. She married an incredibly loyal and faithful husband, Donald E. Carter, 57 years ago. Janet is survived by Donald and their two dearly loved daughters, Amy Jo Perry (Joe) of Gainesville and Heather Bennett (Benji) of Starke; three cherished grandchildren, Landon and Skyler Perry of Gainesville and Madison Bennett of Starke; five siblings Patsy Nichols Lawson, Philip Nichols, Michael Nichols, Greg Nichols and Colleen Nichols Brannen. Many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends will greatly miss her as well. Janet has now been reunited with her mother, the Carters infant son and countless other loved ones who have gone to heaven before her and shared her belief in the saving grace of a sacrificing savior, Jesus Christ. She loved sharing her earthly home with family and friends, and everyone who knew the Carters will long remember countless days filled with sun and fun spent at their home on Kingsley Lake. Following her high school graduation, Janet went to work at the Bradford County Courthouse. She served as the school secretary at Starke Elementary for several years as well. Later, she thoroughly enjoyed serving customers at Winn-Dixie in Middleburg for many years. During their retirement years, Janet and Donald enjoyed extensive U.S. travels.
