Suzanne Carey

Suzanne Hart Carey (Sue), age 86, passed away peacefully in her Sellersville home on October 31, 2024. 

Born on October 24, 1938, in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Florence (Brown) Hart. 

Sue was a graduate of Germantown High School and a lifelong student of fine arts.

Sue married her high school sweetheart, Bernie, and raised four daughters in Warrington, PA, nurturing their individuality with her love for all things creative, from crafting and sewing to cooking and Girl Scouting. She was infamous for her unique, homemade Halloween costumes that always stole the show and were shared for generations. Later, she joined the workforce in the field of accounting, retiring from Lincoln Investment where she cherished the friendships she made through “The Lincoln Ladies.”

Outside of work, Sue enjoyed spending time with her family and friends at her beach home in Avalon, New Jersey. She took pride in being self-taught many skills, such as drawing, cardmaking, cake decorating, calligraphy, sewing, knitting, and crocheting. Most notable was her talent for painting in various mediums. Sue took pleasure in learning and exploring new painting techniques, entering art shows, and giving her art to admirers. She was proud to be commissioned for several drawings of homes, businesses, and events around the area. Beyond her art endeavors, Sue had a great flair for decorating and creative party planning in her community. 

At 69, she found love again with husband Denny Jones. They adored a new life chapter together, often making their fun-loving presence known on the dance floor on winter get-a-ways to Mexico. Denny was her loving and steadfast caretaker to the very end. 

Sue will be forever remembered as a fighter, as she was a brain tumor and breast cancer survivor. She took on the many challenges life handed her with a quiet, but unwavering, strength of character.

Sue was a member of Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church. 

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Bernard James Carey, who passed away in 2008, and her brother, Robert Hart. 

Sue will be lovingly remembered by her spouse, Dennis R. Jones; her four daughters: Leslie Weigand (Tom), Suzanne Gerrow (Chris), Stephanie Carey, and Jennifer Rosztoczy (Steve); and her six grandchildren: Kevin, Sarah, Kayla, Audrey, Lauren, and Christopher.

Friends and family are invited to pay their respects at the Joseph Ambler Inn on Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 11:00am until 12:00 noon, followed by a Celebration of Life luncheon. 

Sue’s remaining artworks will be donated to the Art At Grandview HospitalGallery.
