Della Mae Knight Carter (70) went to be with her Lord & Savior on April 23, 2024 at home surrounded by her family.
Della was born March 11, 1954 in San Angelo to Fontella and Pat Knight.
In 1972, Della graduated from Lakeview High School. She worked at Zales before beginning her career with the State of Texas. After 20 years of service, she retired from working for the State of Texas in 2013. She retired at just the right time to watch her youngest grandchild during work hours, which she absolutely loved. They spent lots of time at the library together reading, and exploring. She enjoyed making her children laugh by sending them silly memes and cartoon strips, and was an active member of the Sierra Vista Methodist Church for many years.
Della was preceded in death by both her parents, Jerrel Pat and Fontella (Terry) Knight and her brother in law Chuck Phillips. She is survived by her siblings, Ronnie and David Ann Knight of San Angelo, Margaret Knight of San Angelo, and Pattie Phillips of Sherman; her children, Jeremy and April Carter; Kristi Carter, all of San Angelo; Christina and Kurt Rausch of Hamilton, MT and her bonus son Steve Wilhelm of San Angelo; Grandchildren, Talysen Carter, Bryanna Larson, Zachary Larson, Nikkole Larson, Serenity-Jane Wilhelm, Kane Rausch and her bonus grandson Kayden Davis; one Great Grandson, Keegan Aranda; and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Concho Hearts Hospice for their help, especially Lindsey Laminack. Lindsey, you really were one of her favorites!
We love you so much, Mom, GranMa, and Debba! Go rest high on that Mountain!
