Shirley Carey, 65, passed into her mother’s awaiting arms on Sunday, February 11, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. She was predeceased by her parents Guy & Ann Carey, brother Jerry Carey, and close family friends: the Knight family and Chuck Chambers. She is survived by the family that chose to be part of her life: Jenniffer & Raymond Blewett and their children Bradley, William and Cassondra; Lori & Harold Parks and their daughter Trinity; Meri-K & Randy Ritter and their children Raenee, Marci and Devon; Chuck’s wife Susan Chambers; brother Gordon & Linda Carey, nieces and nephews Jeffery, Bradley & Carrie, Randy & Colette and Tina & Kenneth. We would like to send a special THANK YOU to her “staff” at ACHIEVE. Her ACHIEVE family loved and cared for her for many years. Shirley retired from the Sheltered Workshop where she worked for over 20 years. In her youth she attended summer camp at El Rancho De Paz, where she loved horseback riding and for many years took part in the Special Olympics. Shirley also loved listening to country music, watching old movies, latch hooking and cross-stitching many gifts for those she loved. Most of all Shirley enjoyed going out to eat with family and friends. Her beautiful smile and spunky personality will be missed by all.
A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, February 23, 2024, 11am at the Wm. R. Chase & Son Funeral Home, 737 Chenango Street, Port Dickinson with a burial to follow at Chenango Valley Cemetery. In lieu of flowers those wishing kindly consider donations to ACHIEVE, 125 Cutler Pond Road, Binghamton, NY 13905.
