Jeannine “Jen” M. (Kappelle) Carey, 89, of Uxbridge, passed away Sun. Oct. 15th, 2023 with her family by her side. Jen was born on November 9th, 1933, in Woonsocket, rI, the daughter of the late Jacques and Clara (Beaudoin) Kappelle. She was a resident of Uxbridge for over 60 years and a member of Cornerstone Church in Uxbridge. Jen was the wife of the late Aram Carey. She is predeceased by her eldest son, Alan Carey. She is survived by four of her children and spouses: Wayne Carey and Joanne, Glen Carey and Patty, Gail Carey and Lisa, Deborah Froehlich and Wayne. She cherished all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Jen was a social butterfly with a great sense of humor. She loved hosting family gatherings. There was always food to share, and she was always ready for company. She had a real sweet tooth and was known for her fresh pies and cakes throughout the neighborhood. Jen’s creativity was evident in her love of crafting. Her young children were always dressed in hand-made outfits. She volunteered her sewing services for the school choir, band and drama club. Later in life, she took to quilting and crocheting. She had a keen eye for blending colors, textures and patterns.

A nurturer and helper, Jen was well known in her church home and larger community. She was an active member at Cornerstone within the cookbook ministry, her card ministry and the ladies’ Bible study. She very much enjoyed Pastor Jamie’s moving sermons. She loved her church family and appreciated their genuine love, prayers and encouragement. Her favorite Bible verse was John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Jen’s Celebration of Life will be held on Sat. Nov. 11th at 10 AM at Cornerstone Church, East Hartford Ave, North Uxbridge, MA. All are welcome.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Cornerstone Church, P.O. Box 365, 5 East Hartford Ave, North Uxbridge, MA 01538.
