Eao M. Carson age 82, of Scribner
Died Saturday April 22, 2017 at Fremont Health Medical Center.

Eao was born on the hottest day of the year at home in Bloomfield, Nebraska on July 19, 1934 to Gerald and Mildred (Fish) Johns. Her dad was killed in World War II when she was 10 years old. Her mother went to work in a clothing store, so Eao was expected to care for her 5 year old brother. She graduated from Bloomfield High School in 1952. She attended Norfolk Jr. College till May 1954, then began her 30 year teaching career at Beaver Crossing, Nebraska. In 1956 she met Kenley Carson who was a Chicago and Northwestern Railroad employee working in Beaver Crossing. They married at Bloomfield on July 28, 1957. Arlington was her next teaching job. In September 1958 Kenley was transferred to Nora, Nebraska, then to Superior, Nebraska. He was transferred to Dodge and they made their home in Snyder, then Dodge and finally Scribner. In August 1962 Eao started teaching kindergarten at Scribner Public Schools, a job that lasted 26 years. Eao attended Midland Lutheran College (now Midland University) in Fremont taking summer and night classes, graduating with a Bachelor Degree in Education in 1971.

After retiring from teaching in Scribner she taught pre-school classes in Day Care Centers in Fremont, Hooper and Scribner. She also was a nanny for many years for Ian Bradbury, Beth and Jessie Waggoner.

Eao was very active in her church and the American Legion Auxiliary. She also volunteered at the Scribner Good Samaritan Center. She was an avid bird watcher belonging to two Bird clubs.

    To all of Eao's family--my thoughts and prayers are with you. I thought about Eao often, as I was named after her. She was a special lady and a good friend to both my mom & my dad (Raymond & Veronica Paustian). She was a special guest at my dad's last birthday party in 2013.
  2. Steve & Bonae Paustian
    We have many fond memories of Cousin Eao when she came out to visit. She was an amazing person.

    On behalf of the Ray Paustian (deceased) family we send our deepest condolences to the Eao Carson family. Our father Ray so enjoyed his visits to Eao and her family in Nebraska and we equally enjoyed her visits out to marysville ca for visits. Eao always brought such a great spirit of fun and gust for life on her visits. Our entire family will never forget her great visits. We are all a better family for spending time and hearing the great stories that both Eao and our dad Ray Paustian shared with all. Eao a great person will be missed and heaven just became a better place. Love to her and her entire family in this great time of loss
    Sincerely
    Mike Paustian

    This is a beautiful picture of your Mother which brings back lots of memories. Your family was good friends with ours. I was thinking Eao gave me my first job babysitting you Denise. Warmest regards to you all. We will be thinking of you all as you celebrate the beautiful caring life of your Mother. Janet Sanders, daughter of Sandy and Aileen Sanders of Scribner.
