Shirley D. Carter, 84, of Elizabethton, Tenn., went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, November 15, 2020, from Life Care Center of Elizabethton following an extended illness. Shirley was born in Elizabethton to the late Neil and Mary Bradshaw Davis. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde D. Carter; a son, Jack Carter; a brother, Ralph Davis; and a very special friend, Jimmie Henley.
