She was preceded by a son, Gary Carter. She is survived by her sons, Charles and Mark; four grandchildren; two daughters-in-law, Janice and Carol; and a host of nieces and nephews to numerous to mention, but all loved equally by her. Margaret was an avid hunter, angler, gardener, birdwatcher and conservationist, teaching respect, awe, and love of lor Lord's natural wonders to all she knew. Marbie was playfully mischievous, always in a good mood with an endless sense of humor that brought cheer to all. Most of all, our mother, our grandmother, our aunt, our friend was a Beautiful Dreamer. Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day, Lull'd by moonlight have all pass'd away! Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, List while I woo thee with soft melody; Gone are the cares of life's busy throng Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie' Over the streamlet vapors are borne, Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. Beautiful dreamer, beam of my heart, E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea; Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Memorial services will be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Coastal Conservation Association Florida, P.O. Box 568886, Orlando, FL 32856. We will all miss her and love her always.
