Our wife, mother, and grandmother, Christine Ann Carter, 70, passed away on November 2, 2020, in Bloomfield, New Mexico. She was born on March 19, 1950, in Los Angeles, California, to Antonio LoPresti and Marvel Sorenson LoPresti. She grew up with her three brothers in California, graduating early from Birmingham High School in 1967. She then attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, graduating in May 1972 with a degree in Elementary Education. She later earned the equivalent of a Masters of Education Degree.
Chris married her eternal partner, Stephen W. Carter, in the Utah Salt Lake Temple on April 7, 1976. Over the following years, they were blessed with four sons: Blaine in 1977, Brent in 1979, Sean in 1981, and Doug in 1986. She was a busy mom who loved her family and enjoyed being in the thick of all their activities. She especially looked forward to their yearly trip to the beaches of California and Disneyland. While raising her boys, she was also a teacher with the Bloomfield Municipal Schools for 25 years. Additionally, she served as a part-time Municipal Judge for the City of Bloomfield.
She was an active member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints, where she cheerfully served in many callings; she particularly loved working in the Young Women organization.
Chris is survived by her husband, Stephen, and sons: Blaine (Alicia) of Heriman, Utah; Brent (Markelle) of Lehi, Utah; Sean of Bloomfield, New Mexico; and Doug (Jen) of Saratoga Springs, Utah; and by nine grandchildren – the lights of her life. She is also survived by her brothers: Dennis LoPresti of LaQuinta, California, and Robert LoPresti of Northridge, California. Chris is preceded in death by her parents, Antonio and Marvel LoPresti, and her brother, Richard LoPresti.

November 6, 2020 at 12:46 pmSister Carter will be so missed!! She is the perpetual YW leader!! She was mine, and then my girls!! She showed me that you can be strong willed, outspoken and spicy and still be a faithful daughter of our loving Heavenly Father! She seemed to love fiercely , live faithfully and lead shamelessly.

November 6, 2020 at 4:15 pmI was sadden to hear of the passing of Chris. A flood of wonderful memories rushed in my mind. I was blessed to meet Chris and Steve when they first came to Bloomfield when I was 16 years old. Chris was our seminary teacher. She not only taught me to love early morning seminary but how to be a strong independent woman and daughter of my Father in Heaven. Chris and Steve always took the time to know me and what was going on in my life. Chris always told me to not to dim my light for anyone. I also was blessed to get to know her, Steve and their new little family as I babysat for them and their first 2 boys Blaine and Brent. It has been many years since I was in their home but those times are still some of my favorite memories of my teenage years. I will miss you and your mega watt smile Chris. Steve, my thoughts, prayers and love go out to you and your family. So thankful for the gospel truth that we will all be together again.

November 6, 2020 at 9:25 pmSteve and family, I really wanted her to beat this battle but this mountain was just to big. Chris has left us with wonderful memoires of being friends forever. She and her majestic smile which made everyone feel loved that was blessed to be in her presence. She was full of life and loved new adventures with her family. We have a similar love for the ocean and the peace it brings us. I loved talking to her about her boys, their wives. and her precious grandchildren were what brought her the greatest joy and peace. She loved deeply and sincerely to the end. John and I will miss you and your smile and love for life. We love Steve and all of her wonderful family. Till we meet again.
