Eward R. Conrad, age 57, of Scranton, died Thursday at Allied Skilled Nursing Center in Scranton. He is survived by his beloved wife of 35 years, Celestine Rushefski Conrad.
Born in Dickson City on June 21, 1957 and son of the late Stanley and Lillian Walker Conrad, Edward was a graduate of Mid Valley High School, Class of 1976. Prior to his recent illness, he was a longtime owner and operator of carnival equipment, a job he and his family passionately loved. He’ll forever be remembered for his kind ways, especially to all children attending his carnivals. He also enjoyed traveling with his family, especially his yearly trip to Florida. Taken too soon from his family, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather who will be dearly missed.
He is survived by five children, Sarah, Eddie, Arthur, Jeffery and Celestine Conrad, all of Scranton; and three adoring grandchildren.
His brother, James Conrad, also preceded him in death.
Private arrangements are under the care of the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 North Main Avenue, Scranton. Interment, Fairview Memorial Park in Elmhurst.
