It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Doris Marie (Carson) Eget, who left us peacefully on Saturday at the age of 80. Doris was born in Spangler, to late parents, Joseph and Helen (Shutty) Carson.
Doris joins her husband, James Anthony "Jim," who passed away Feb. 12, 2017. She was also preceded in death by her brothers: Joseph, John and Edward; infant siblings, JoAnn and Bobby; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, George and Josephine Eget; and her sister-in-law, Gloria Clipper Prelock.
Doris is survived by daughters: Lorie, wife of Dr. Donald Ratchford, of Ebensburg; Jamie, wife of Robert Sherry, of Northern Cambria; and Kari of Ebensburg; and sons, James Anthony Jr., and wife, Leslie (Latoche), of Tracey's Landing, Md.; and George and Betsy (Wrask) of Barre, Vt.
She was Gram to: Addison James and Caroline Ratchford; Taylor, Georgia and Anna Sherry; Kallin Eget-McGlynn and Johnny Weiland; James Anthony Eget III and Quintin Eget. Also surviving are brothers: Robert Carson of Northern
Cambria and the Rev. Monsignor Stanley B. Carson of Altoona; sisters-in-law: Carol Carson of Northern Cambria; Delrose Carson in Indiana; Peggy Carson of Johnstown; Joanne (Amadei) Lunardi of Ravenna, Ohio; and Georgette (George) Kutsor of Pontiac, Ill.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Doris "Gram" devoted her life to her family, creating a home filled with warmth, kindness and love. Her greatest joy came from being a grandmother. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she never missed a chance to share in their laughter, achievements and dreams.
Whether she was making waffles, preparing her sauce and meatballs, taking numerous trips to Dairy Queen, sitting on the porch and talking, attending basketball, soccer, volleyball games and track meets, watching numerous dance recitals, traveling to Maryland to see the boys or simply giving a hug and an "I love you," Gram had a way of making each feel loved beyond measure.
We will miss her deeply, but we find comfort in knowing her love lives on in each of us -- especially in the hearts of her grandchildren.
Our family would like to express our deep gratitude to the Sister Servants of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the staff at John Paul II Manor and the caregivers of the Villages of Maple Heights and Pinnacle Hospice for the compassionate care provided to our mother and grandmother in her final months.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, at Prince of Peace, Northern Cambria, the Rev. Monsignor Stanley B. Carson, officiating.
Arrangements are by Moriconi Funeral Home Inc., Northern Cambria.
