Robin Carson Obituary
She was born in North Kingston, R.I., and had lived in Bay County since 2008. Prior to that, she had moved "wherever the Navy sends us" for her entire life; most recently, that was Sicily, Italy. Robin dedicated her life to volunteer work - as a Girl Scout leader; 35 years with the American Red Cross; and, most recently, with the local Guardian ad Litem program.
She was preceded in death by her sister, Debi Vivian Eitel of Lantana, Fla.
Survivors include her husband, Dale Carson of Panama City (USN, retired); her parents, John (USN, retired) and Beverly Vivian of Lantana, Fla.; her daughters, Vicki (Marco), Crystal and Courtney; her brother, J.D. Vivian of South Palm Beach, Fla.; and her granddaughter, Stella.
A memorial service will begin at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, at Southerland Funeral Home, with family friend, the Rev. William Hamilton, of Lantana, Fla., officiating. The family invites friends to gather after the ceremony at the Carson residence in Panama City.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations to the Children's Home Society of Florida should be made in Robin's name (http://www.chsfl.org/Get-Involved/Donate).

Dear Dale,
I just learned of Robin's passing. It is a shock to Joe and me. We are so sorry and heartbroken. We can't believe she is gone. I planned to give you guys a call this summer to see if we could talk you into planning a trip to Texas. We will always cherish the great memories of our friendship. May God be with you and the girls and family. We love you.

Dale and girls,
We were so shocked to hear of Robin's passing. We had no idea she was sick. Hopefully, all the girls were able to be with her at the end. We have so many fond memories of Robin from Mayport and Valrico.
You and the girls are in our thoughts and prayers. We are glad Robin got to experience being a Grandmother before this. You know she is watching over all of you from above.
We will be in touch and hopefully can share a beer or two remembering Robin and her giving spirit.

We were deeply saddened by the news about Robin. She was a marvelous American Red Cross asset during the flood at Sigonella. She will be missed by many.

Helen and I could not believe our eyes when we read in Jen Temple's email that Robin is no longer with us. We remember her fondly as an avid supporter of EVERYTHING at Sigonella, and will definitely miss her. She was a great lady, but you already know that. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Of my many cousins, Robin was closest to me. She and I shared many good times as we grew up and we were always there for each other when times weren't so good. Robin helped me survive the passing of my mother by being a shoulder to lean on and sharing her thoughts and sincere kindness.
I believe that Robin was always as giving to others as she was to her family whether she knew them or not. Always a helping hand and giving of herself.
She'll always be in my heart and I know someday we'll see each other again. Until then, I'll smile in the memories we shared together, and be there for Dale and the girls if they ever need my help.
