https://www.flipsnack.com/alcbf/pastor-ll-carter-funeral-program/full-view.html The Life of Pastor Emeritus Lee Lewis Carter Lee Lewis Carter, a dedicated servant of God, faithful husband, loving father, and equally loving grandfather passed away peacefully on June 8, 2025 at the age of 85. Born on December 11, 1939 to Beatrice Johnson Carter and Willie Carter in Caldwell County, Texas, he was the tenth of fourteen children. Lee initially professed his belief in Christ to his mother at an early age and then united with St. John Regular Baptist Church in St. John Colony, Texas. A short time after accepting his calling to the ministry, he united with Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church in Alum Creek, Texas. A couple of years later he accepted the position of Pastor. After some years passed, he shared with the church family that God had given him a vision to lead Mount Pleasant out of the wilderness. He enthusiastically assisted with all the fundraising programs and was a vital member in constructing the edifice of the new church in Cedar Creek. Lee often shared while growing up in St. John Colony how he along with other children would run to the one house that had a television so that he could watch his favorite superhero “Superman”! As he grew up, his interest turned to sports and fast cars. He was always rooting for the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Lakers. He owned a March 1 Mustang but would only race if someone pulled up alongside of him and kept challenging him, then he would “punch it” and leave them in his dust! Lee later married Mildred Marie Anderson and she faithfully served by his side for 46 years at Mount Pleasant. Through this union three daughters were born, Pamela, Mashon and Dana (the Carter girls). Lee worked hard in the construction field to provide for his family. He did his best to demonstrate to his daughters how Christians should treat people, by not only providing for his family, but was always willing to help others in need. Lee loved being a servant for God. He loved preaching and singing and seemed to never get tired. He would preach at Mount Pleasant for the morning service, then preach at a guest church in the afternoon, and then attend a choir musical that night and wake up at 6am on Monday to go work on a construction project at Southwest Texas (Texas State) University, University of Texas at Austin and numerous high rise buildings in Austin. When it came to doing the work of the Lord, he often said he wanted to preach until it was time for him to meet the Lord. While on his earthly home, he did his best to please God by preaching the gospel in hopes that people would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He leaves from this earth, but not from their hearts, his devoted caring wife Mildred, loving daughters Pamela (Anthony) Pleasant, Mashon Carter, Dana (Brandon) Sidle and precious granddaughters Tranise Pleasant, Jania Pleasant and Trinitee Sidle. In addition, he leaves to cherish his memory, his brother, Matthew Carter and sister Erma Holt, a host of nieces and nephews, sons in the ministry, extended relatives, and friends.
