Marsha Lea Carter, 73, of Waldron, Arkansas, passed away Monday, December 22, 2025, in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Marsha was born February 6, 1952, in Waldron, Arkansas, to Maurice and Ima Jean (Newberry) Hunt. She grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, before later returning to her hometown of Waldron, where she would spend her retirement years.
