Marianne Carter Nettles
April 15, 2020
Marianne Carter Nettles, age 91, passed away peacefully with family by her side on April 13, 2020 in Pensacola, FL.
Marianne was born on June 16, 1928 in Vincent, AL to Layton Leroy Carter and Lavonia Gambrell Carter. She wed Henry Goodwin Nettles Jr. in 1946 and later received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Louisville. They raised five children while serving together in ministry at the many churches Henry pastored throughout their life together.
A loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Marianne spent her life caring for her family and serving others. She touched the lives of many children while working as a music teacher in Escambia County, FL and was a faithful member of Olive Baptist Church where she contributed to the Christian Concerns newsletter and taught Sunday school until she was 87 years old. She was devoted to supporting the countless charities that she was passionate about and will be remembered for cheerfully giving to anyone in need.
Marianne is survived by her children, Mike Nettles (Lynn), David Nettles (Sandy), Martha Woodall, Paul Nettles (Melinda) and Mark Nettles (Cheryl) as well as 13 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, Layton and Lavonia Carter; her husband, Henry Nettles; and her son-in-law, Jim Woodall.
An intimate service officiated by Dr. Ted Traylor will be held for immediate family. Extended family and friends will gather in the months to come in celebration of Marianne’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Samaritan’s Purse, an organization she devoutly supported.

Condolences to the Nettles family from Patricia Simmons Enriquez. I have such sweet memories of Mrs. Nettles when she was our youth choir director at Canoe Baprist Church in Canoe, AL. May the Good Lord grant you all peace and comfort.
Condolences to the Nettles Family! Mrs. Nettles was a wonderful teacher and friend.
