Earl Vural Omer, of Columbia, Maryland, formerly of Millersville, Maryland, died peacefully on July 12, 2020 at his home surrounded by his family. Born in Cyprus in 1935, he was one of eight children. He immigrated to the United States in 1956 to pursue the American Dream and became a U. S. citizen. He served in the United States Army and worked as an accountant for Delta Chemical Corporation and Allied Chemical Corporation before starting his own accounting firm.

He had an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoyed many business ventures, mostly in accounting and real estate. His true passion was tax accounting. He built a successful accounting practice in the late seventies and welcomed all three of his sons into the practice as CPAs years later. He enjoyed talking to his clients and ensuring that they were on the right path, tax-wise. He looked forward to every tax season, always eager to hear what the previous year held for his clients.

Earl was an avid Baltimore Colts and Baltimore Ravens fan, attending SuperBowl XXXV in Tampa Bay to cheer the Ravens on to their first SuperBowl victory. Earl also loved to travel around the world. In addition to traveling to Cyprus to visit family, he also enjoyed seeing the rest of Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America. His favorite trips were cruising through the Panama Canal and touring Ireland. Most of all, he loved being with his family and spending time with his grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his first wife, Alice Kelley Omer, to whom he was married for thirty-four years, as well as two brothers and two sisters. He is survived by his children: Earl Omer, Jr. (Andrea) of Virginia, Susan Sharpe (Kenneth) of Texas, Kent Omer of Severn, Edie Lavallee (Brian) of Severna Park and Orhan Omer (Michelle) of Severna Park; his grandchildren, Rebekah, Jonathan, Allison, Rachel, Abigail, Michael, Joseph, Andrew and Samantha; one brother, two sisters and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his wife, Scarlette Wilkinson Omer and her two daughters, Amanda Orr (Jeremy) and Emily Kassouf (Wayne).
