Tava Orr Carter “Mama”, 68, of Hendersonville, North Carolina passed away on Monday, February 24, 2025 unexpectedly at her home.
She was the mother and best friend to her two boys who she got to see and talk to multiple times daily, Ryan (Brandy) and Todd, both of Hendersonville.
Tava is preceded in death by her father Oliver Max Orr and her husband James “Jimmy” Carter.
She is also survived by her mother, Louise Guice Orr; sisters, Verna Orr, Myra Orr (Craig); a brother, Tyson Orr and two nephews, Terry and Clayton.
She loved her babies, Quentin, Hurley and Duke.
She enjoyed getting her hair and nails done, going to local vineyards, listening to music with her friends, sitting out front with the dogs, sun on her face listening to her books on tape.
She was a great person with a beautiful soul taken way to soon.
Please hug them if you got them, you never know when the last time you will see them or have a conversation with them!
“Love you bye”
A Celebration of Tava’s Life will be held Saturday, March 1st at 2:00 PM at the Carter Residence followed by fellowship with friends and family.
