Personal Life
She was the first of four children, born to a father of British descent, Harold Wilson, and an Italian mother, Priscilla Normandy (Patti Greenwood). She attended 12 different schools before graduating from Gainesville High School in 1974. She entered the University of Florida at age 16, where she majored in music performance and music education.
While in Los Angeles, in May 1984, Carter married first husband Rick Carter, over her manager's strong protests. She had only known him for one month when they eloped to Las Vegas. They returned to Gainesville, and their son Richard was born in 1986.
In February 1998, Carter married singer/songwriter, Greg Webb, the lead singer of the Gainesville, Florida based Rhythm and Blues Revue, changing her name to Kiki Webb. They began collaborating musically and formed the acoustic duo, dancing Light (Sunblossom Records). The name dancing Light came from a song of the same title, written about a vision Carter (then Kimberli Wilson) had after a near-death experience.
Carter and Webb moved to his family's property on Leech Lake in northern Minnesota in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
