Carey attended Severy Grade School in Severy, Kansas until the consolidation of schools resulting in being part of the first graduating class of West Elk High School in 1974.  After high school, Carey attended Emporia State University for one year and then continued her studies at Saint Francis School of Nursing in Wichita, Kansas where she graduated in 1977 as a Registered Nurse.

   Once again, one of the best is taken.  I am unbelievably sorry to hear that Carey is no longer with us.  She always had a smile and a kind word, regardless of who it was she was talking to...And could be totally blunt at the same time.  I loved that about her. :-)  Prayers going up for Ed and the children, as well as the extended family.
