Aubrianna Marie Carter

Aubrianna Marie Carter, 18, of Robinson, Illinois, passed away on January 16, 2026.

She was born on August 31, 2007, in Robinson, Illinois, the beloved daughter of Adam and Melissa (Wampler) Carter. Aubrianna brought light, creativity, and joy to everyone who knew her.

Aubrianna grew up in Robinson and attended New Hebron Christian School before continuing her education through homeschooling at Main Street Micro, where she thrived academically. She was exceptionally smart, driven, and dedicated, taking pride in her studies and accomplishments. She also worked at Sammy's Smoothie Bar, where she began at just 16 years old and quickly became a valued and cherished employee.

From a young age, Aubrianna had a deep love for the arts. She loved to sing, dance, and perform, especially in theater productions. Though she had a shy side as a child, she blossomed on stage and performed in several plays at Lincoln Trail College. Music was always close to her heart—especially musicals—and she loved attending plays and musical performances whenever she could. Her passion extended beyond performing; she was also a gifted writer and artist. Not only did she pursue these creative outlets, she excelled in them, earning recognition in several local writing contests.

Above all else, Aubrianna loved her family. She was a devoted and caring sister to her brothers, Austin Carter and Noah Carter. She treasured time spent playing board games, hanging out with her cousins, and making memories with those she loved most. She especially enjoyed spending time with her “Aunt M,” who held a special place in her heart.

Aubrianna also shared a meaningful relationship with her boyfriend, Ty Williamson. Together they embraced everyday life—running errands, going to Walmart, traveling to New York with the Williamson family, and making memories in both ordinary and unforgettable moments.

Aubrianna was a vibrant young woman who embraced life wholeheartedly. She loved animals, collected a wide variety of cherished items, and found joy in simple pleasures like building snowmen and sledding in the winter. Her laughter, kindness, and passion for life left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

She is survived by her parents, Adam and Melissa Carter; her brothers, Austin and Noah Carter; her maternal grandparents, Mike (Janet Davis) Wampler and Rhonda (Steve) Coulter; her paternal grandparents, Tony and Nancy Carter; her aunts and uncles, Myka (Jeremy Comer) Wampler, Brady (Talesa) Carter, and Joel Carter; her boyfriend, Ty Williamson; as well as several cousins, extended family members, and many dear friends.

A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 24th, at the church, with Pastor J.D. Branson officiating. Burial will follow in Richart Cemetery.
