Sidney Dixon

Carter, Sr.

Sidney Dixon Carter, Sr., 89, of Richmond, departed this life December 26, 2025. He was born July 28, 1936 in Henrico County to the late Burnell Carter Sr. and Florence Thompson Carter.

In June 1955, he graduated from Maggie L. Walker High School. Sidney retired from the American Tobacco Company after many years of employment.

He was strong willed, but wholeheartedly committed to family values. In his youth, Sidney played baseball. He enjoyed fishing and keeping up with past and current events.  His laughter at family gatherings and his jokes that kept his family amused will be greatly missed.

Although his passing was sudden, we shall always cherish the last moments that we shared with him.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his son, Sidney D. Carter, Jr.; three brothers, James, Burnell Jr. and Alfred Carter and two sisters, Evelyn Moran and Vivian Miller.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Claudette L. Carroll Carter (who died January 15, 2026); two daughters, Marchell Bradley and Cheryl Carter; five grandchildren, Antonio Carter, Marlesha Carter, Melissa Dove (Lawrence), Morgan Banks and MacQuinn Banks; a host of great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

A joint Memorial service for Sidney and Claudette will be held 1 p.m. Monday, February 16 at Scott's Chapel, 116 E. Brookland Park Blvd. Interment private.Livestreamingatscottsfuneralhome.com.

Rest in peace, we love you. God be with you.
