Carey began working at the Medical Foundation in 2005. She worked with hospital services and then specialty labs where she made her mark as fast, efficient, and caring. She was loved by her patients, clients and co-workers. Her greatest joy in life was caring for others. Carey tirelessly served as a caregiver to many people throughout her lifetime. She fought with strength and grace for a year and a half with pancreatic cancer. She was nothing short of amazing for her courage and dignity she maintained throughout her fight.

The family would like to thank Dr. Bilal Ansari for his compassion and care for Carey, as well as her nurses, friends, and The Center for Hospice Care visiting nurses.
