~~~My cousin~~~

Reverend Charley Carey was born August 15, 1919 in Hulbert, Oklahoma to Silas and Annie (Cochran) Carey. He passed from this to be with the Lord and reunite with Ramona, his wife of 58 years, on December 16, 2008. He had attended Chilocco Indian School at Wyandotte, Oklahoma. Reverend Carey retained his humor through his final day.

In 1961 at the age of 41 Charley Carey was ordained at the New Hope Baptist Church in Hulbert. All the churches he pastored were Indian Baptist churches including Cedar Grove Church, Oak Grove, Sycamore, and Mt. Zion among many others. His final church was New Hope in Hulbert. He then attended Steely Springs until his passing. He wed many couples. The first and last couple that he married are still together today.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing until his health would no longer allow him to.

A proud veteran of WWII he hung his United States flag each morning and took it down each dusk. Charley had earned a Combat Infantry Badge.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife Ramona.

Charley was a beloved cousin of my grandpa.
