Carolyn Carey Obituary
Carolyn M. Carey, age 80, reunited with her family in Heaven on Saturday, April 3, 2021.

In addition to her parents, Carolyn is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Max B. Carey; brothers, Jerry Hampton and Richard "Dick" Hampton; brother-in-law, Bob Estle; and dear nephew, Robbie Ray Estle.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her children, Cindy (Skeeter) Hamilton, Mindy (Jim) Finnegan II, and Max (Shawn) Carey; grandchildren, Carrie (Thomas) Davis, Nathan (Afton) Hamilton, Jimmy (Amanda) Finnegan III, Jessica (Joel) Chase, Rebbecca (Aaron) Sule, Brian (Tessa) Carey, Hannah (Andrew) Roberts, Matt Carey, Katie (Brad Snively) Carey, and Drew Carey; and great-grandchildren, Brooklynn, Noah, Cadence, Lucas, Noble, Emslee, Daegan, Sibylle, Millie, Emma Kate, Jace, Hailey, Easton, Rowan, Micah and Brantley. Carolyn is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Mary Hampton, Karen Hampton, and Kay Mills; as well as several aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins.
For the past year, Carolyn was blessed to live with her sister, Christine Estle, who gave her round the clock care and cherished her time with her up until the very end. The family will forever be grateful for her care.
Carolyn greeted every customer for over thirty years at Weathervane Dry Cleaners with a smile and ready to be updated with all of your latest family stories. She was blessed with the gift of gab and never knew a stranger.
Carolyn enjoyed to give her family and friends homemade baby bonnets and crocheted blankets. As her grandchildren always competed to be her "#1 grandchild", Carolyn was surrounded by those she loved fiercely and will be deeply missed.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, April 8, 2021 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Edgington Funeral Home with her funeral beginning at 1 p.m.
Carolyn will be laid to rest by her husband, Max, at Sugar Grove Cemetery.

Carolyn Was one of the sweetest ladies God ever created, she always had a smile to give away. She was our neighbor for 30 plus years. She was not only the best neighbor possible but she was also our great friend. We always looked out for each other. When we lost a loved one or pet she cried with us as we did with her when she had a loss. We will always cherish the times we spent with her. We already miss our daily chats and the past year our phone chats with her. Carolyn loved animals and we do too, she would spoil every one we had by giving them treats all the time, especially the horse and deer we had. I know Carolyn loved God as we talked of Him and our after lives often! I can just picture her feeding all the animals in heaven and I can see her smile. We thank God that He let us share her life as she she was a great inspiration and a truly loving soul, RIP our FRIEND until we meet again, we Love You!!!

Carolyn will be so missed. We were cousins, best friends but like sisters. Spending our growing up years exploring, talking & hanging out in our neighborhood. She was so much fun to be with. Funny. Smart, And so thoughtful & caring. She was a big part of my life. I can't believe She will never call me up & sing Happy Birthday to me again. Rest in peace. You are so loved. You made our world a better place.

Cindy, and family, just loved your mom! so sorry to hear this. I remember Back when we were in Jr.High her picking you up in back of the school. always so nice. when I would go to the dry cleaners i always had to make sure I went a little early before work because we would "gab" and catch up. She was a shoulder for me at a point in my life and I felt like she mothered me too when I needed it. she truly cared about you and wanted to help. I loved when I would run into her at Walmart or wherever. she will truly be missed. Twilene "Myers" Cunningham

My Best Friend Carolyn Carey for Sixty Seven Years has went to be with the Lord.We shared a life time together from our teenage years to our marriages and then our children. I will never have a friend like Carolyn again. My heart is sadly broken, I will not on May, 06, 2021have her sing me a Happy Birthday song. Or hear her beautiful voice again. They threw the mold away when God created her. She will be sadly missed by me.Want to thank her sister Chris for taking care of her in time of need. Thank Mindy, Cindy and Max Brian for all the love you gave her. For one thing sure she loved her family!!
