DelAnne Carey Obituary
DelAnne M. Carey, 78, of South Windham, CT passed away unexpectedly at home on March 21, 2022. She was born in Willimantic, CT and moved to Plymouth, NH at the age of 6. There she had the unique opportunity of being a student in her mother’s first grade class. When DelAnne was 9, she spent a year in London with her parents where she witnessed the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
DelAnne moved to South Windham when she was 12, and graduated from Windham High School and Eastern Connecticut State College. She then received a Ph.D. from Sarasota University. On August 12, 1969, DelAnne married Andrew Carey, III, also a resident of South Windham. She was employed for many years as a reading consultant for the Lebanon Public School System. DelAnne was the Director of “Early Prevention of School Failure” teams that trained many school systems in CT. In addition, she was an Eastern Connecticut faculty instructor.
DelAnne enjoyed traveling, visiting many countries with her husband or her group of devoted friends. She was fond of her neighborhood and especially enjoyed spending time with her neighbors. She eagerly offered to host parties for the many organizations that she and Andy supported, where every guest was treated to her boundless humor.
DelAnne loved her pets and the birds and animals that visited the backyard to be fed. This resulted in South Windham having the fattest crows in CT.
She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Andrew Carey, III; cousin, Linda Klecak and her husband David. In addition she is survived by her husband’s siblings, Kathleen Perlitz and her husband Frank, Ann DeMarchi and her husband Robert, Tim Carey and his wife Kim, Jim Carey and his wife Gail, Colleen Carey, and Maureen Etchells. She was predeceased by her parents Levi H. and Thelma (Weick) Dolloff.
Her family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at Potter Funeral Home, 456 Jackson St. Willimantic, CT. She will be buried at the convenience of her family. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the South Windham Fire Department, P.O. Box 4, 41 Machine Shop Hill Rd. South Windham, CT 06266. For an online guestbook, please visit www.potterfuneralhome.com
