On April 3rd, 2012, Kenneth Carter of Hinton, Alberta, beloved husband of Edith passed away at the age of 83 years in the palliative care suite at Hinton Heath Care Centre.
Besides his loving wife of 61 years, he is survived by his four children; Linda (Vic), Pat (Bob), Gary (Kim) and Dale as well as seven grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren, two brothers, Lloyd (Ivy) and Harvey (Diane)
Ken was born in Manitoba on March 10th, 1929, raised his children on the farm, worked at other jobs before retiring in Hinton to be with family.
He loved to spend time with his grandchildren, camp, read and spend many hours playing guitar, fiddle and harmonica.

He was a “kind, humble, gentle spirit” who will be sadly missed by family and friends.
In keeping with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a private “Celebration of Life” service will be held at a later date.
