Carmelita Sue (Myers) Jean

The day Carmelita Sue Jean had been living for came on August 18, 2021 when she met her Lord and Savior.  She was born on January 16, 1938 to Wilmer and Marjorie Myers of Pekin, Indiana.

Carmelita’s deep love of her family was surpassed only by her love for God. She was a wonderful friend to friends and strangers alike. Known for her love of cooking, she prepared many meals for friends and family.  When sitting down at her table, one knew they were going to have a delicious meal and be encouraged, possibly called out and strengthened (if you know, you know).  Those who know her life and the way in which she lived it will say she finished well.  Carmelita was a force for good in her community, her church and her family.  She demonstrated a never wavering faith and willingness to share it with all who would listen.

Those who mourn her passing include her husband of 61 years, Burl and two daughters, Jennifer Tomlinson and her husband Wade and Allison Ezzell and her husband Joe, along with four grandchildren, Hope Tomlinson, Carter and Katie Ezzell and Macie Tomlinson.  She was preceded in death by her parents and a grandson, Riley Jean Tomlinson.

Visitation will be held at Southern Hills church, 1645 S. Highway 135, Salem, Indiana on Sunday, August 22 from 2-8PM and Monday, August 23 from 10AM-time of service.  The funeral will take place on Monday, August 23 at 11AM at Southern Hills Church with internment to follow in Crown Hill Cemetery.   The following is a link to where her service will be live streamed on Monday: https://youtu.be/BfCuGk32SBM
