Jean Bradley Carson

Jean Bradley Carson, 83, of Vero Beach, went home to be with Jesus on Memorial Day, May 30, following a 60-year adventure with her husband Ed. They 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. She 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 leaves behind 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 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, 2:00 p.m., and at Fairview Christian Fellowship, Fairview, NC, 2:00 p.m. Saturday, June 4, with the Rev. Russell Harper officiating. Burial will immediately follow in Gerton, NC at Bearwallow Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church. Groce Funeral Home on Tunnel Road is assisting the family.
