Esther I. Carey

ESTHER I. CAREY, 92, of Sidney passed away at 2:56 A.M. Saturday, January 16, 2021 at Fair Haven County Home. She was born on May 5, 1928 in Sidney, Ohio, the daughter of the late John and Esther (Courter) Hoover. On January 10, 1947 she married John L. Carey, who preceded her in death on September 12, 1996.

Esther is survived by three children, Archie (Cindy) Carey, Steve (Peggy) Carey, and Candace (Justin) Ritter, all of Sidney; ten grandchildren; a multitude of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; one sister, Vera Pike of Florida; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by four brothers and one granddaughter, Crystal Hittle.

Esther was retired from the former Copeland Corporation in 1985 where she had worked for more than 18 years. She was a member of the Christian Tabernacle Church in Sidney. Esther enjoyed popcorn, playing bingo with friends, working in her garden and making twirlies to hang from her porch. She loved to travel, something she and her husband did together for many years. She also enjoyed making embroidered blankets for family members, which are sure to be cherished for years to come. Her greatest joy was her family and spending time with them, especially her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their families.

A Graveside Service will be held at Shelby Memory Gardens on a future date at the family's convenience. Condolences may be expressed to Esther's family at, www.cromesfh.com
