Marjorie completed her early education at the Howard Elementary School and Benedict College High School.

While at Howard, she received a gold medal for the highest rating for research in Pharma ceutical Chemistry. She was a member of the Howard University Choir and had the honor of singing at the inaugu ration of President Calvin Coolidge. She also sang solos at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church and the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church of Washington, DC. She was also active in several campus organizations including student government and the Y.W.C.A. She later received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Paine College and the Master of Science Education from the University of Michigan.
She was christened at an early age in the Ladsen Presbyterian Church of Columbia, South Carolina. After her marriage in 1928 and relocation to Augusta, Georgia in 1930, she moved her membership to Christ Presbyterian Church where she has been a faithful member in excess of seventy-five years. She served the church in many capacities and was ordained a Ruling Elder in 1960. She was a charter member of the Ellis-Harris Society of Presbyterian Women.
She was initiated into the Alpha Chapter ofAlpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in 1 925, following in the footsteps ofher two older sisters, Ruth and Edith, who were inducted in 1920 and 1921, respectively.

Before her teaching career began in 1 930 at the Haines Normal and Industrial Institute, under the tutelage of the great Lucy Craft Laney, she practiced pharmacy in Roanoke, Virginia and Aiken, South Carolina.

Her teaching career lasted 38 years, with 22 of those years at the Lucy C. Laney High School.
She is survived by: one son, James E. Carter, III; daughter-in-law, Judy L. Carter; two grandsons, James E. Carter, IV and Free Mason Johnson, III; granddaughter-in-law, Connie E.

O Qod, Our Help In Ages Post
Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope /or years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received its frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. A thousand ages in Thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. Time, like an ever rolling stream, Soon bears us all away; We fly forgotten, as a dream, Dies at the opening day.
Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home.
