Betty Jo Carter

Mrs. Betty Jo Carter, 71 of Holden, surrounded by her family, peacefully passed away, on a beautiful and sunny Sunday morning, March 5, 2023, at Logan Regional Medical Center, after battling a long illness.

She was an amazing Wife, and Mother, and the very best Grandmother ever. You never left her home without a meal, and especially a hug and an “I love you.”  She had a way of making everyone feel loved and cared for in a unique way.
