Carma Rae Eary, age 65, of Brady, passed away peacefully, while surrounded by her family, Saturday morning, February 22, 2025, at her residence in Brady. Carma, or “Popcorn” as she was known by family and friends, was born on December 17, 1959, in Odessa, Texas to Ronny Coon and Shirley Rice.

She worked as a Licensed Vocational Nurse for over 27 years at the Clifton Lutheran Sunset Home in Clifton, Texas. She moved from Clifton to Brady 10 years ago. She enjoyed deer hunting and researching her family’s genealogy, especially going to cemeteries to find more information about the family. One of her passions was “antiquing.” She would always be up for antique shops or garage sales to find her next treasure. She was immensely proud of her extensive “Coca-Cola” memorabilia collection. She was a member of the New Song Christian Fellowship in Brady.
