On Sunday evening, March 18, 2018, God sent an angel on a mission to escort the soul of Mary Carter Robinson to eternal rest. She peacefully answered the Master's call and began the journey to her final rest. Her life's journey began on June 2, 1943, when she was born to  her parents, the late Burton and Lelia Carter in Caroline County, Virginia. Mary was known to her family and friends as "Sugar Baby".

She graduated from Union High School in Caroline County, Virginia and attended Virginia Union University. She lived in Hawaii for more than thirteen years.

When Sugar Baby returned to Virginia, she was employed by Best products, and thereafter at SunTrust Bank, where she was employed for over twenty years. Her bubbly personality and vivacious smile drew customers to seek her services.

Sugar baby was a member of Saint John Baptist Church where she served as church clerk, worked with the Missionary Ministry, the First Responders and sang with the Spiritualettes Choir.
