Jean R. Carr

Jean R. Carr, age 94, of Bel Air, MD passed away on June 8, 2019 at Glen Meadows Retirement Community in Glen Arm, MD. Born in Baltimore, MD, she was the daughter of the late Walter Parke Rupert and Jean Campbell (Beatty) Rupert and wife of the late Homer Burke Carr. A respected Brownie and Girl Scout Leader, she also served as a Sunday School Teacher for 52 years, shared her beautiful soprano voice with several church choirs, and was a member of the Bel Air First Presbyterian Church.

She was an avid reader and an award-winning quilter, and she also had a love of music, playing both the piano and organ. Additionally, she found much joy tending her lovely flower gardens and enjoyed researching her family’s genealogy.
