Carey was a stay at home Mom while her
children were young and cared for Tommy for almost 20 years as he had
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. After Tom’s death Carey
returned to school at Algonquin College in Ottawa and subsequently was
employed by the federal government at Energy Mines and Resources in
Ottawa as a systems analyst for ten years. She then returned to PEI to
reside at Stanhope.
A great mother, strong willed and
feisty and a great and loving partner for Tom for 68 years, she was a
seamstress extraordinaire and made the best bread and jam. She had a
beautiful smile which lit up the room. She will be sorely missed by
all.
Carey entered Beach Grove Home in May of 2019 after a
year of excellent home care at Stanhope and received the same
excellent care and cheerful friendship at Beach Grove Home Sunset
Unit. We the family are eternally grateful to all who cared for
her.
In all her health problems Carey never lost her sweet
smile nor her determined spirit. As per Carey,s wishes cremation has
taken place. Due to Covid-19 restrictions a memorial Celebration of
Life will take place at a later date when it is safe to do so.
Memorial donations may be made to Beach Grove Home.
