Carla May Eastman Gray 1955 - 2021

 Carla May Eastman Gray passed away peacefully on January 9, 2021 with her family by her side. Carla was born on May 9, 1955 in Kemmerer, WY to Ralph Eastman & Sarah (Sallie) Peart Eastman. She was the second of five kids.

Carla grew up in Rich County, Utah, always throughout her life referring to that area as her home. She had many fond memories of spending time with her cousins or sister during her childhood. In her early 20’s, she got married to Billy Norman Gray.They shared two daughters together, but later went their separate ways.

Carla moved to St. George in 1984 and spent the rest of her time in this area. She enjoyed the climate of St. George and didn’t miss the snow of northern Utah. Carla enjoyed fishing, camping, cross stich, thrift shopping, scrap booking and being with her family. She was always ready for any adventure with her sisters. In 2005, she started doing childcare with her daughter, Jeannie. She always had a big heart and found a fit in childcare; the kids loved her. After working hard her entire life, she retired in 2020

Carla is survived by her daughter Jeannie (Christopher) Layton, grandsons Drake (Korina) Layton, Brock Layton, Austin Feller, great granddaughter Charlie Layton, Father Ralph Eastman, sisters  Terry (Steve) Huffaker,  Jenny (Jason) Callahan, brother Farrell (Nola) Eastman.
