Jereane Carlson

Wilma Jereane Carlson passed away on September 22, 2023 at the age of 82. Jereane was a lifelong artist and volunteer, and a loving wife, mother, and friend.

Born in Meridian, Texas in 1940, Jereane was the first child of Charlie and Evie Scott. She and her sister Virginia were raised in Fort Worth where she met her husband Tom. Tom and Jereane were married on August 15, 1958, shortly after Jereane graduated from high school. They spent the first twenty-two years of marriage following Tom’s career in Wisconsin, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. During that time Jereane had five children: Steven, Renee, Scott, Mark, and Stephanie.

The family returned to Texas in 1980 to start Process Automation, Inc., and Jereane was actively engaged in launching that business which survives today. Jereane was an avid artist in many forms and earned a Baccalaureate in Art from Rochester Institute of Technology. She was a Sunday School Teacher and Church Librarian and was involved with The ‘36 Club in Grapevine for many years. Jereane traveled the world extensively both independently and with friends and family. Jereane is survived by her sister, four children, twelve grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren.

Since she was a long-time supporter of Cook Children’s Hospital, donations made in Jereane’s memory are greatly appreciated by her family.

All friends and family are invited to celebrate Jereane’s life at a memorial brunch. Saturday, November 11 from 10 am to noon come and go. Bess Mitchell House at Grapevine Botanical Gardens.
