Deanie loved flowers and bright colors, so please dress appropriately, in honor of her.
 
She was born on June 14, 1949, at Union Memorial Hospital in Monroe, NC, daughter of the late William Ira and Lola Delphia Deese Simpson. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Franklin Eugene Carter; brothers, William Ira Simpson, Jr., James “Dub” Simpson, Sr. and Phillip Leon Simpson; and sisters, Marie Simpson Walters, Margaret Simpson Mills and Janie Simpson Baucom.
 
Dean loved her people well and made everyone around her feel very loved, accepted and welcome. She was a model for unconditional love and forgiveness. Dean was constantly serving and giving even until her last breath. She loved singing in the choir, scrapbooking, flowers and gardening, helping others in need, visiting people in nursing homes and the hospital, and loved making people feel and look beautiful. Her huge love for her children and grandchildren was clearly evident and truly unmatched. The only thing that was greater than this was her love for her Lord and Savior. 
 
Deanie is survived by her daughter, Bonnie Dean Seay and husband, Sean and their 3 children, Boone, Bryson and Lola; her son, David Richard Daniel, Jr. and wife Amy and their 3 children, Gracie, Josey and Trevor; daughter, Hayley Evette Laney and husband, Brian and their 2 children, Weston and Waylan.
