Carey was born in Orange County, California, June 23, 1968, and moved to Utah as a little girl. She married her highschool sweetheart Wes Ivory who she had three amazing kids with. A dedicated mother, who showed up for everything. Even taking on coaching roles and running the PTA.

Becoming a teacher was a dream come true and her passion for teaching was easy see. Dedicated to her students, she went above and beyond for them. She was also a teacher at home and shared her love of reading with her children and grandchildren. Every Christmas, you could count on receiving a beautiful book from grandma.
