Linda Robertson Carter Obituary (1955 - 2022)

GREENSBORO - Linda Catherine Robertson Carter passed away on May 6, 2022 after a long, 7 year battle with ALS. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, May 12, at 1 pm at Westminister Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, NC. A reception will be held immediately following the service, at the church. Linda graduated from Madison- Mayodan Senior High School and went on to college at Elon where she was a member of Phi Mu Sorority. She then transferred to Appalachian State University where she received her bachelor's degree in teaching. She taught for several years before deciding to stay at home to raise her two boys. After marrying her tennis "pro" husband, Giles, Linda became an avid tennis player and competed and won many tournaments. Watching tennis on tv was a passion of hers, along with socializing with friends, spending time at the beach, trading cars and making fabulous themed birthday cakes. Oh how we will miss our precious, courageous Linda! She was our encourager, our faithful friend, the one who sought to do good for all those she loved so dearly and deeply. She taught us to be strong not only in body but also in our faith. Her love for God was seen in all her giving - she loved to do for others! Today we rejoice in the knowing that she is "absent from body...present in the Lord." We celebrate her home going, her relief from pain and her great joy at being with her Savior. Linda was an extraordinary wife, mother, Mimi, sister and friend. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 39 years, Giles, her son Andrew and wife Lauren ( daughter-in-law she loved so dearly), son, Alex; grandsons, Austin and Cooper; sister, Jean Goodnough and husband Dave; several nieces and nephews AND her ever so faithful companions, Izzie and Gracie.
