Marlo P. Carter

On April 22, 1969, Ernest and Dinetta Carter welcomed a beautiful baby girl in Chester, Pennsylvania, at Crozer Chester Medical Center. Born Marlo Carter, she would later be affectionately known as Trecie. As the oldest daughter and granddaughter, she proudly embraced her role within the family, a position she carried with confidence throughout her life. Marlo was employed by Reliant Home Health Care Agency and was previously employed at St. Francis Hospital, where she served with dedication and compassion. At the age of eight, Trecie relocated to Palmetto, Louisiana, where she attended Palmetto Elementary School and Palmetto High School. She later returned to Chester, Pennsylvania, where she graduated from Chester High School in 1989. That same year, Trecie began one of the most meaningful chapters of her life—motherhood—welcoming the first of her five children, her only daughter, Nashera, whom she cherished deeply. Trecie was known for her quick wit, generous spirit, and strong personality. She took great pride in her appearance and possessed a natural sense of style and creativity, particularly in fashion and home décor. Her youthful presence and timeless confidence earned her the nickname “Forever Young,” as she had a remarkable ability to stand out in any setting. Family was the foundation of Trecie’s life. She found joy in simple pleasures such as spending time with loved ones, sharing meals—especially crabs—spoiling children with snacks, and traveling to create lasting memories. She was outspoken, courageous, and bold, with a sense of humor that was both sharp and heartfelt. In 2010, Trecie met the love of her life, Travis Foster, affectionately known as Face. They were later married and shared a life filled with love, companionship, and devotion. Rarely seen apart, they traveled together and built a life centered on family and togetherness. On December 16, 2024, a part of Trecie departed this life when her beloved husband, Face, transitioned. As an Evans woman, Trecie carried herself with pride and strength, setting an example for others to follow. She was a leader when leadership was required and a steadfast presence when support was needed. Her legacy of love, resilience, and loyalty will forever remain in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her. On January 12, Trecie was baptized in Jesus’ name by Elder Charles Medley. On that day, God gave her a message, and those who were present witnessed the fulfillment of exactly what God had spoken. Marlo “Trecie” Carter was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Travis Foster; her parents, Ernest Carter, Sr. and Dinetta Gordon; her paternal grandparents, Leroy Evans, Sr. and Alice Evans; and her maternal grandparents, Bob Wilson and Ethel Carroll. She leaves to cherish her memory one daughter, Nashera Blackwell (Breon); four sons, Rasheen Blackwell (Alexis), Laron Chandler (Ta’Quazha), Aleem Chandler, and Ja’Kyi Hooks (Kiasia); and eight grandchildren, Nah’ee Evans, Bray’Len Chambers, Breon Chambers, La’riy Chandler, Lay’Oni Chandler, Sakani Chandler, Ja’Narie Hooks, and Ny’ion Chambers. She is also survived by four sisters, Beverly Carter, Takisha Tanner (Bobby), Lakyra Nichols, and Erniesha Carter; two brothers, Derrick Cooper and Ernest Carter, Jr.; two stepchildren, Talonda Faust and Ja’Mar Sadler; one bonus child, Naziah Lyons; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
