  CARTER, Huena Frances (nee MacIsaac) In loving memory of Huena Frances Carter (nee MacIsaac), 88 years, who passed away Monday morning, February 14th, 2005 at her residence, Sudbury. She worked for many years at St. Joseph and Memorial Hospitals and was an active member of St. Clement's Parish. Huena loved parties and God. Many evenings when her children were growing up, she'd have everybody on their knees saying the rosary, and sometimes, even the non-Catholic neighbourhood kids would wind up getting involved. "Probably do them some good", she'd say. For more than 60 years, her Eyre Street home was alive with laughter and music. The Carters also operated Laurentian Transit and Local Lines and Levack Bus Lines and many's the working man from out of town who found himself staying at the Carter's house after arriving from somewhere else in Canada looking for a job. Everybody knew they could count on Huena. Her reputation for unbridled hospitality - she'd cook whatever anybody wanted - was known from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Late one night back in 1974, just after the family finished celebrating Tom Sr.'s birthday, a family of black bears dropped into the house in the middle of the night by surprise. Huena instilled in her children a love of reading, conversation, religion and her humour was infectious. Her living room looked like a museum of family life, cluttered as it was with generations of photographs, gifts and gadgets. No matter which member of the extended family came to visit, Huena was always sure to have their photos in prominent spots, so everyone all knew they held an important place in her heart. She loved to knit socks and mittens and last year, she gave each of her grandchildren lovely personalized rings. After a great and fruitful life she will join her mom and dad, her brothers and sisters, her husband Tom and children. Huena Frances MacIsaac was born in Inverness, Cape Breton in 1916. Daughter of Annie and Angus B. MacIsaac and sister to Angus, Peggy Stellarton, Hugh, Gussie, Lillian, Bertholde and Alex deceased, and survived by her precious sister Kaye (Catherine MacDonald). In 1937, she followed her brothers to Sudbury and studied nursing at St. Elizabeth School of Nursing from which she graduated as an RN. Some of the friendships she made there, she maintained until her final days. While studying nursing, she met Tom Carter and they eloped and married in May 1942, in the Pro Cathedral in North Bay. Their first born Patrick (deceased) came along the following March. He was followed by Bertholde, Tom (wife Judy), Mary Hughena, Norma (husband Dr. Paul Fairman), Charlene (husband Alan MacNevin), Mary Leona deceased, Alexander (wife Brenda), James Edward and Peter Francis (wife Helena). Huena doted on every one of her grandchildren - Patty Lou (Sr. Pat, csj), Tom, Bridget, Anne Marie (deceased), Donald, Norma Charlene, Jennifer, Hughie, Alan, Jesse, Golly, Peter, Paul, Michael, Alexander, Ewa Frances, Ria and Mickey, and she loved her great grandchildren; Diana Piche, and all her many friends, relatives and neighbours.
