Cathleen Anne Carter
Obituary
Cathy (Cathleen) Anne Carter Fowler of Joshua Tree, CA (formerly of the Bay Area) transcended on June 25th, 2021.
The journey began for Cathy (and twin Cristen) on August 13, 1947 in San Francisco, CA, when she was born to the late Gerry and Nick Carter, renowned Bay Area tennis players.
As a young girl, Cathy was a junior competitor in the Sacramento/Bay Area tennis circuit from 1959-1965. Sisters Denise and Cris both remember Cathy as a youngster playing guitar and singing with their dad Nick. They both loved music!
Cathy was a teenage force in the California music scene, playing with The Svelts, The California Girls, The Apartment 4, and later went on singing and playing guitar as a solo artist. In 1960s Lake Tahoe, she would perform with all the bands and artists that came through town. Her former bandmates remember Cathy as the golden goddess with a guitar, and a voice of a twinkling angel.
When Cathy was around, the energy was elevated. She loved life! She loved the wind in her hair, and would stick her head out the car window while driving, and smile as big as she could! She wanted to heal the world and spread love to all. She was always moving to the beat of her own drum.
For years, Cathy sang and hosted weekly karaoke around the Bay Area. She dedicated her life to music until she was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, when she moved to be with her daughter Cristie and husband Jamie, in Joshua Tree, CA.
Cathy’s heart of gold will live on in all of us.
Cathy was preceded in death by her husband Robert; mother Gerry, and father Nick. Cathy is survived by her daughter Cristie and son-in law Jamie; sisters Cristen and Denise; brother-in-law Austin; nephews Aric, Ryan, Nick and Charlie, and her niece Holly; her first husband E.J., and the many people Cathy loved and knew all around the world.
Cathy was a huge animal lover, so in lieu of flowers contributions may be sent to the no kill shelter here in Joshua Tree. Click on link below or send a check to MBHS, PO Box 1234, Joshua tree 92252.
