Marian Carson Obituary

Marian Carson

November 14, 1939 - January 23, 2025

Marian J Carson, 85 of Davenport, Iowa, who was a breast cancer warrior was called to the Lord on January 23, 2025. She passed at home surrounded by loved ones. Funeral services will be held on February 5, 2025, at 12 p.m. at Runge Mortuary. Visitation will be held one hour prior to services. Marian will be laid to rest at Pine Hill Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the family. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.rungemortuary.com.

Marian and her twin sister, Molly, were born on November 14, 1939, in Davenport, Iowa, to Henry and Wilma Kuehl. On February 12, 1972, she was united in marriage to Rick Carson. They enjoyed 52, almost 53 years of marriage. She retired from Wonder Bread in 1994 after 30 years. Marian loved her family immensely and having them over for dinner and holidays. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandma. She especially enjoyed the holidays, from decorating the inside and outside to having all of her family over to enjoy them with her. She also greatly enjoyed going to the stock car races to watch her husband, Rick, and her son, Henry, race on the weekends.

Marion was all about family and taking care of them; she was incredibly close with them and just recently was able to add the title of great-grandma to her list. She will be greatly missed by all, but especially her family.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband; her children, Dave Carson and Henry (Julie) Carson; siblings, Marilyn "Molly" Kuehl and Les (Sue) Kuehl; sister in-law, Joyce Kuehl; grandchildren, Dylan and Austin Carson; great-granddaughter, Haizley; and many nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Henry and Wilma Kuehl; and her brother, Wesley Kuehl.
