10-24-2018

Janet Kay (Parmley) Carey, age 67, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, October 24, 2018. She was born in Sioux Falls, SD to the late Ellis Parmley and Bernice (Hansen) Parmley on August 03, 1951.

Janet completed her schooling in Sioux Falls, graduating from Washington High School in 1970. While studying at Washington, she joined the track and field team. She won many awards, but her favorite event was the hurdles.

She met her cherished husband Charles Carey of 45 years in 1969. Janet and Charles were partners in everything, including business. Despite her active schedule, family and friends were Janet’s passion and delight. She enjoyed shooting darts, watching scary movies with her friend Marilyn, traveling with her sisters, Debbie and Charlene, and snuggling with her dog Rascal. Janet was an amazing mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Spending time with the young children in her family brought her great joy.

Janet is survived by her beloved husband: Charles; four children: Mary, Marsha, David and Christine; six grandchildren: Kayla, Harvey Jr., Adrian, Cassie, Ajay, and Benjamin; and three great-grandchildren: Oliver, Harvey and Ripley; and a number of other loving relatives and close friends. She is also survived by her sisters: Charlene (husband Terry), Sutton, NE., Debbie (husband Mike), Longmont, CO.; brothers: Ron (wife Joyce), West Union, IA., Dennis (wife Judy), Blaine, MN. and Darrell (wife Dawn), Watertown, SD.

Janet will be missed by so many that loved her. We ask the Lord to welcome her with the love he has promised us all.

Visitation will be Monday, October 29, 5:00 PM at Barnett-Lewis Funeral Home with a Scripture Vigil at 6:30PM. Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday, October 30, 11:00 AM at Christ the King Catholic Church.
