Mary Lois Yarbrough Carter, 92, of Conway passed away May 2, 2017. She was born August 4, 1924 to the late Buford and Martha Sue Woefle Yarbrough in Drummond, Tenn. She was raised by her father and ‘mother' Effie Parks Yarbrough. She attended school at Naylor, Arkansas where she often talked about playing basketball, outside on a dirt court and her love for learning. On February 24, 1945, she married the love of her life, the late Loyd Alton Carter.
