Obituary of Grace Carter
Please share a memory of Grace to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Ila Grace Carter was born on July 13, 1928 in
Stillwater, OK to Oscar and Myrtle (Fitzpatrick) Bilyeu.
Grace passed from this life on Tuesday, August 5, 2014
at the age of 86.
Grace was born the youngest of seven children. She
was working as a telephone switchboard operator
(asking “number please”) when she married Earl Carter in
1954. Earl and Grace had met while attending Bethany
Peniel College now known as Southern Nazarene
University. Grace left the telephone company to be a full
time homemaker and raise her four children until the last
one was entering kindergarten. In 1970, Grace started
working for Tulsa Public Schools in the school cafeteria at
Lee, Horace Mann, Barnard, and back to Lee knowing
that she would be off work almost every day her children
were out of school. She returned to being known as a
homemaker and wife and began taking care of her grandchildren
in 1988.
Grace was preceded in death by her husband, Robert
Earl Carter in 2005. She was a member of the Southwest
Church of the Nazarene in Tulsa for many years but in
recent times had been attending the Sapulpa Church of the
Nazarene with her son Richard and his wife Darla.
Grace is survived by her children (in chronological
order), Robert Carter of Tulsa, Alan Carter of Tulsa,
Roberta Hines of Claremore, OK and Richard Carter of
Glenpool, OK and; a brother, Doyle Bilyeu of Bethany,
OK; six grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
