performer for many years with her mother and sisters, June and Helen.

Ms. Carter died at 4 p.m. at her home. Her sister, June Carter Cash, and her
brother-in-law, Johnny Cash, were with her. She had suffered for some time from

Born Ina Anita Carter, March 31, 1933, in Maces Springs, Va., she was the
youngest of the Carter sisters b
