Ruby Elois Carter, age 88, of Olive Branch, MS went to rest with her Savior on July 1, 2020. Elois was born June 12, 1932, in Falkner, MS to Clarence Madison Carter and Etoyle Huddleston Carter. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Evert Madison Carter. She is survived by her son Michael Carter (Suzette) of Olive Branch, MS.  She is also survived by her grandchildren:  Carrie Campbell, Crystal Poulin (Jason), and John Hopper (Amber).  She was also blessed with eight great-grandchildren.  Her many nephews and nieces who called her Auntie, her extended family, and dear friends will miss her greatly also. Elois grew up in Falkner until moving to the Memphis area with her family in the late-1930s.  She and her family soon found themselves settling into the Millington, TN area which they called home until she moved to Olive Branch, MS in 2005. A 1950 graduate of Millington Central High School, Elois attended Memphis State University and was an enthusiastic supporter of the school and its athletic teams her entire life. As a young adult, Elois found her calling in the travel industry.  She began her career with American Airlines and worked in Chicago and San Francisco in the late-1950s before relocating back to the Memphis area.  In Memphis, Elois served travelers as an agent with American Airlines and Tanner Travel Agency before finishing her career with United Airlines at the Millington Naval Base SATO Travel Office until her retirement in 1992. Not a "joiner" or an extremely social person by her own admission, Elois was an integral part of every organization and company she was ever associated with.  From the marching band at Millington Central High School to her various employers to her friendships, Elois' made positive impacts wherever she was involved.  Elois loved traveling the world and some of her greatest adventures were had while leading groups on trips to such places as Hawaii, England, Italy, and Israel.  An avid reader since childhood, Elois read untold thousands of novels and biographies. But her highest priority in life was caring for her family.  From her consistent and loving care of her parents to the love she had and the sacrifices she made for her son, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, Elois was always willing to put others first.

Visitation at 1:00 and funeral service at 2:00 at Northridge Woodhaven Funeral Home in Millington, TN.   Burial will follow in the adjacent Northridge Woodhaven Cemetery.
