Katherine Joan Carey
With her husband by her side, Katherine "Joanie" Carey, on February 8th moved from an earthly night to a heavenly day. She was born in Houston on October 28, 1933 to Theodore and Katherine Nelson. She graduated from Lamar High School in 1951 and attended Baylor University from 1951-1952. She gave her life to Jesus Christ in 1965 and shared Him with others until her death. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and an incredible homemaker. She was a purposeful advocate for handicapped children. Joanie never met a stranger, and her joyful and giving spirit were evident to all. Her gifts and talents had few boundaries. Galveston beach, singing, cake baking and playing tennis were her joys. Teaching Sunday school for 31 years and mentoring girls on a relationship with Christ was a focus she so enjoyed. Entertaining others was a mission that brought her much happiness. As part of a trio, Joanie blessed MD Anderson patients for years. She was a talented beauty who won the title Ms. Senior Texas USA 2005. She is survived by her husband G. Rowland Carey; daughter Diane Meroney Staats and son-in-law Gary; son, James Edwin Meroney and daughter-in-law Morag; daughter Kathy Lynn Meroney; grandchildren, Nelson Staats and wife Lauren, Mallory, Austin and Sarah Staats; Hunter, Conner and Brooke Meroney; great- grandson Noah Staats.
