Carlene (Myers) Weese

Carlene (Myers) Weese, 74, of Warner Robins, Georgia, passed away on August 8, 2019, after losing her battle with cancer.
Carla grew up in Idaho, where she graduated from New Meadows High School. In 1964 she enlisted in the United States Air Force, and that is when she met her husband, Sonny. In 1965 she resigned from the military to become a mother. They lived on Lakenheath Air Force Base, in England, for five years. Then, in 1972, Sonny was assigned to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and the family moved to North Carolina. Carla received an Associate Degree in Nursing from Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
In 1979 the family moved to Warner Robins. This is where Sonny completed his military service in 1987 and Carla worked at Houston Medical Center. While working full-time as a critical care nurse, Carla earned her Bachelors of Science Degree in Nursing from Georgia Southwestern University.
Carla held many positions at Houston Medical Center, including Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Manager, Critical Care Manager, Emergency Room Manager, and also worked in the Budget and Finance Department. She retired in 2013, and at the hospital’s request she continued to work part-time until 2016, when she fully retired. Carla said her final and favorite job was being a granny to her three grandchildren.
Carla was an avid reader, enjoyed traveling, especially with family. In recent years she visited Costa Rica, Canada, the Panama Canal, several national parks, and spent many weeks traveling to many different beaches from the Carolina coast to Florida’s coast. Carla and Sonny enjoyed several cruises with their family and friends. Taking pictures was Carla’s passion, and with the advent of digital technology she printed her own pictures. Her favorite subjects to capture in her photography were the beauty of nature and her family.
She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Charles (Sonny) Weese; son, Steven Weese and his wife, Melba Weese; granddaughter, Rachel Weese of Canton, Georgia; son, Michael Weese and his wife, Jill Weese; grandchildren, Isabella Weese and Gabriel Weese of Warner Robins, Georgia.
