CAREY---Ms. Nancy Eileen Carey nee Trojanoski, passed away on Saturday March 7, 2026 at the age of 76. Nancy was born February 16, 1950 in Jacksonville, FL, daughter of Warren Trojanoski, Sr. and Patricia Gammage Trojanoski.

Nancy was a 1968 graduate of Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville. She went on to receive her Bachelor's Degree from Florida State University, later receiving her Masters from the University of Texas, and began her 30+ year career in public elementary education.

Nancy lived a full and active life. She enjoyed traveling and the outdoors, water skiing, and playing softball. She even tried her hand at sky diving out of helicopters and cow wrangling. She is best remembered for her love for her family, the students she taught, and her love for animals. Nancy will be deeply missed.

She is survived by her sisters Carol Brown, Judy Brazile (Larry); and her brother Warren "Bud" Trojanoski, Jr.; also many other loving family members, friends and associates.
