She married the love of her life, Lesher Guy Carey on July 3, 1947. Together they forged a well-lived life in Dewey, Arizona for 48 years, raising 4 children. Ten years after her husband's death she moved to Williamson Valley with her daughters. Her varied jobs included a bus driver for HUSD and she enjoyed being a waitress at Reata Pass Steakhouse. Jackie enjoyed hunting with her husband and sons. She tagged many deer, elk, and even a buffalo. She cooked many meals, especially for the entire extended family during the holidays. She was known for her awesome Texas sheet cake! Her travels took her to Hawaii several times and even China.

She is survived by her children that she dearly loved:  Gary Carey (Ann Marie) of Prescott Valley, Arizona, Lesher Carey (Kathy) of Dolores, Colorado, Diana Carey and Cheri Carey of Prescott, Arizona.

We know in our hearts that the gifts she gave us will endure forever - her generous heart, the memories we created and always her love. She will be missed by many and always loved.
