Obituary of Sister Anne Marie Carey
Sister Anne Marie Carey, CSJ
died peacefully at the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Residence,
2 O’Connor Drive, Toronto, Ontario, on Monday, November 18, 2019,
in the 74th year of her religious life.
Sister Anne Marie was the eldest daughter of Arthur Carey from Toronto, Ontario,
and Kathleen Seager from Thornhill, Ontario.
Sister Anne Marie was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Kathleen, her brother John Arthur and his wife Shirley, her sisters, Sister Kathleen (Kitty) Carey, CSJ and
Mary and her husband Ken Smith.
Sister Anne Marie will be missed by her nieces and nephews, friends,
CSJ Associates, and sisters in community.
Sister Anne Marie entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto on September 8, 1946 and has celebrated over 70 years in the congregation.
Sister Anne Marie pursued a career in the field of social services at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. Her compassion and love for those who are marginalized in our society led her to establish St. Michael’s Detox Centre, Matt Talbot Houses and St Michael’s Half Way Homes, to assist men in recovery from addictions.
She drew inspiration from Matt Talbot, an unskilled Irish labourer, a patron of those struggling with alcoholism.
Sister Anne Marie was also instrumental in the early stages of establishing the
Sisters of St. Joseph Associate Program for laity who wish to live the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto.
In recent years, Sister Anne Marie had been receiving care from the dedicated staff at the Sisters of St. Joseph Care Centre.
She had a quiet, gentle, welcoming presence for everyone.
