Marie “Toni” R. Carter, 9/25/1927 – 6/18/2019. Marie passed away peacefully on Tuesday, 6/18/2019. Born in New York City to Rosario Rudolph Russo and Filippa (Phyllis) Camiolo Russo, she attended Old Dominion University and went on to study nursing at the Cornell School of Nursing. She met her husband, Robert (Bob) S. Carter, on a blind date at Princeton University. They were married in 1949 and went on to have 4 children (Robert S. Carter, Jr.; Susan C. Oldrieve; Edward R. Carter; Phyllis (Lissa) S. Carter). She earned her Master’s in Public Health Nursing from Catholic University in Washington, D.C., while juggling 4 children. In their 57 years of a loving marriage, Toni and Bob had many adventures sailing, traveling, and spending time at Bethany Beach and Little Exuma, Bahamas. Among her many interests, tennis and singing brought her the most joy. Her jest for life, charismatic personality, and strong will brought delight to those that knew her. She and Bob are now reunited in eternity. She is survived by her 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2019, at 10am at Money and King Funeral Home, 171 Maple Ave W., Vienna, VA 22180. The burial is private.
