Jean Bradley Carson, 83, of Vero Beach, passed away on May 30, 2016.
She went home to be with Jesus on Memorial Day, following a 60-year adventure with her husband Ed.
She is survived by her husband and co-adventurer Ed Carson; her three sons and their spouses: Ed and Kelly, Worth and Sandy, and Brad and Melissa; eight grandchildren: Jed, Zach, Shelby, Rachel (Joseph) McDaniels, Andrew, Nathan, Ben and Jack; and one great-grandchild, Benjamin McDaniels.
She and Ed traveled much of the world together enjoying God’s creation. Though her roots were deep in the soil of North Carolina, having been born in Charlotte, her feet were covered with the sand of South Florida, especially Miami, where she lived most of her life.
Carson raised three boys into fine men. God graced her with deep compassion for others and an extraordinary love of life. She never tired of learning. She could dive on a reef or paint a sunset. She cooked southern but had a palate that enjoyed food from the world over. She was devoted to her family and was fast at making friends. She revealed to us the glory and love of God.
She is already missed, but we rest in the grace of our loving Lord Jesus knowing that she will “dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
A service will be held at Indian River Estates, East, Thursday, June 2, 2 p.m., and at Fairview Christian Fellowship, Fairview, N.C., at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 4. Burial will be in Gerton, N.C. at Bearwallow Cemetery immediately following.
