Mrs. Carolyn Earman

IN MEMORY OF Carolyn Weesner (Snider) Earman March 28, 1941 - July 14, 2018 Carolyn W. Earman passed quietly on Saturday July 14th, 2018 at her home in Woodstock, Georgia with her youngest son, Joe, at her bedside. Born in Washington DC, Carolyn Ruth Weesner, first child to R. Paul and Margaret Thrift Weesner, is survived by her cherished younger sister, Carla Lee Weesner Conrad and her ever joyful younger brother, Ross Warren Weesner, and was predeceased by her parents, her brother John Douglas Weesner, and nieces Catherine Margaret Conrad and Nicole Hayne. Carolyn was raised in Miami Shores, Florida, with summers spent in Greenwood, Virginia. She worked for Lake Central Airlines as a Flight Attendant before her marriage to John Winfield Snider on March 9, 1963. She attended University of Alaska before transferring credits & grad-uating nursing school in Omaha, Nebraska in 1976. She worked as a Registered Nurse in the ER, ICU, CCU, and primary nursing in hospitals in Georgia, Florida, & Tennessee as well as serving as a Ships’ RN for Carnival Cruise Lines for 2 years. Although she returned to nursing later in life, her true love was aviation. Her aviation accom-plishments involved acting as the Assistant Manager of the Lawrenceville-Brunswick Airport in Lawrenceville, Virginia; as Information Director for FAPA in Decatur, Georgia; and then began again working as a Flight Attendant with Airlift International, Independent Air, and Gulf Air. It was always her goal to be on the other side of the cockpit door. After raising her children, Carolyn began flight lessons, and earned a Private Pilot’s license, instrument rating, twin engine rating, and finally her commercial rating. In 1998, she completed Flight Engineer training, B727 at Aeroservice in Miami, Florida and worked for Arrow Airlines as a Second Officer in their DC-8 Flight Training Program. She is known for her love of the sky, gardening skills, keen intellect, sharp wit, disdain of nursing, obsession with big goofy dogs, incontinent cats, science-fiction, practical jokes, and non-stop reading. She is survived by her children and 5 grandsons. She frequently articulated her disappointment in never having a granddaughter although many attempts were made on her behalf. Those sur-viving her whom she loved dearly and called her own are Robert Sean Snider, Vanessa Bentley Snider, Margaret Winfield McGuire, Joseph Andrew Snider, & Charles Thrift Conrad. She was notorious in her pursuit of humor. Carolyn was beautiful, funny, intelligent & accomplished. She will be missed beyond measure. As requested by her, and in honoring her wishes, no official services will be held. As a lover of pets and wildlife, Carolyn generously contributed on a regular on-going basis to several different organizations. If you choose to honor her memory in a material way, please donate to your fa-vorite animal rescue group on her behalf.
