April 26, 87, Goldsboro
Carson Edward Smith, passed away early on Tuesday morning at Kitty Askins Hospice Center surrounded by his family.
Carson was born in Greene County on December 18, 1928 to the late William and Lillie Aswell Smith. His first and favorite occupation was a farmer, and many of his happiest times were spent on one of his tractors on the family farm. Carson loved working at the turkey houses and a lot of times he would just find small jobs that needed to be done. Carson had two places he loved to be, first was in his little gray truck, reading the newspaper, no matter what the temperature was outside. He also loved his gas logs. If you ever went for a visit in the winter, you needed to dress for the summer because he loved to stay toasty warm. Above all, Carson loved spending time with his family, especially his boys. He will be missed.
A graveside service will be held on Thursday, April 28, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the Snow Hill Cemetery, Snow Hill, NC. Rev. Danny Hamm will officiate. Mr. Smith will lie in state at Seymour Funeral Home on Wednesday from 1:00 – 8:00 p.m. Friends are welcome to call on the family at their home on Wednesday.
Carson is survived by his wife of 67 years, Rosetta B. Smith; sons, Kent Smith and wife Ruth, Bobby Smith and wife Kim, and Stacy Smith; grandchildren, Wendy Hair and husband Scott, Mary Katherine Cruz and husband Matt, Anna Elizabeth Smith and Lane Ward and wife Lauren; and a great-grandson, Carson Bennett Hair.
