Robison Carson
Presbyterian SeniorCare retiree known as caring nurse
Gladys Mae Robison Carson, 86, of Coal Center, went to heaven to be with her Lord and loved ones Saturday, July 23, 2011, after many years of poor health.
She was born August 13, 1924, in her family home on Robison Dairy, Coal Center, a daughter of Roy and Rena Scott Robison.
She was a 1942 graduate of California High School and a 1945 graduate of Washington Hospital School of Nursing and was president of her graduating class.
Mrs. Carson was employed by Presbyterian SeniorCare as night supervisor for 25 years. She was a compassionate and caring nurse who loved her occupation. She was greatly appreciated by her patients, their families and her co-workers. She reluctantly retired in 1994.
Mrs. Carson also was admired by her caregivers at Southmont, where she was a patient several times over the past years.
She was a member of Grace United Methodist Church, Charleroi Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and a former member of Fallowfield Township Grange.
On October 24, 1945, she married Merland B. Carson, with whom she enjoyed 60 years of marriage. They were devoted to each other and were a wonderful example of Christian love, dedication and hard work to their family. When they were still in good health, they enjoyed traveling and caring for flowers around their home. Mrs. Carson greatly missed her husband after he went to heaven June 16, 2006.
Mr. and Mrs. Carson spent their life together raising their five children in the home they built together on her family's farm.
Surviving are their children and their spouses, Janice and Paul Salansky, Ruth Ann and Randy Shultz, Susie Skaggs, Bruce and Rhonda Pinkney Carson and Scott and Dawn McVay Carson.
