Marjorie "Ruby" Carey's Obituary
Marjorie “Ruby” Carey
Marjorie “Ruby” Carey of Daytona Beach, FL was born on June 17, 1929 in Brooklyn, NY to the late James Mason and Constance Mason nee Arscott. She passed away peacefully on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013 in Port Orange, FL at the age of 84 years.
She graduated top of her class from hairdressing school and continued to impress her employer and co-workers with the many awards she won during various competitions. Margie married Charles Weiler and had two children. She later moved her family to Daytona Beach where she had her third child and opened a beauty shop on Seabreeze Blvd. called Salon de Coiffure. After her marriage to her first husband Charles ended, Margie married Bernard Carey and had a son. After working more than 4 decades as a beautician, Margie was forced to retire due to an eye disease. However, she never let that stop her from painting and enjoying the finer things in life.
Margie is survived by her husband Bernard Carey of Daytona Beach, FL with whom she spent 49 years, daughters; Beth Weiler-Martin of Port Orange, FL, Wendy Weiler-Reed and husband Max of Port Orange, FL, and Bonnie Weiler-Sagraves and husband Richard of South Daytona, FL, her son John Carey and wife April of Ormond Beach, FL, a sister Gay Iocco and husband Frank of Ormond Beach, FL, and her brother-in-law John Carey and wife Andrena of Ormond Beach, FL. Also surviving are her grandsons Howard Culpepper and Jacob Sagraves of Port Orange, FL, and granddaughters Alexis Sagraves of South Daytona, FL, and Vanessa and Victoria Carey of Ormond Beach, FL, and several nieces and nephews.
Margie was a very caring and loving person that will be truly missed by all, especially by her dearest friends, Angie & Howard Culpepper, Linda Gnau and husband Richard, and Grace Barchard and husband Billy, who she considered family members.
