CARLTON, Edna Mae
a 30-year resident of Santa Barbara, died at Cottage Hospital Sunday, October 31, 1999. She was 88.
Mrs Carlton was born May 1, 1911, in Washington, Iowa, the daughter of George and Minnie Hartman. She was descended from the Singmaster family, prominent farmers in southeast Iowa and internationally known horse breeders and sellers in the pre-automobile era.
After raising their children in Washington and Dubuque, Iowa, she and her husband J Guy Carlton, a retired high school teacher and coach, moved to Santa Barbara in 1969 to be near their daughter. His death in 1986 ended a happy and uniquely devoted marriage of 54 years. In 1991, she moved to the Valle Verde retirement community, where she resided until her death.
She is survived by her son, John Guy Carlton, Jr, who with wife Muriel, lives in Sahuarita, Arizona, and by her daughter, Suzanne, who resides in Santa Barbara with husband Duncan A Mellichamp. Her cousin, Geneva Casey Parsons, whom she regarded as sister and dearest friend, survives in Seattle, Washington.
Edna Mae liked to refer to herself as "the wife of a teacher and mother of four teachers."
As homemaker, she was a true artist, happiest when immersed in the creative traditions of her midwest and family backgrounds--cooking, sewing, knitting, sketching, and painting--usually for the benefit of others. Her warmth and beautiful smile were contagious; she was a friend to all who knew her. In most recent years, these included her bridge partners, many residents of Valle Verde, and members of her church, St Mark United Methodist, which she attended regularly until that became impossible.
At her request, her remains are to be joined with those of her late husband in the land of their births in Iowa. A memorial ceremony will be held at Valle Verde, Quail Lodge, on November 11 at 1:30 PM. Arrangements are being coordinated by McDermott-Crockett Mortuary.
