Whitney Deanna Carey

Whitney Deanna Carey, born on November 29, 1988, left us on June 2, 2023,  in
Royston. Whitney was survived by her loving spouse Keeley Carey, daughter
Rylie Sanders and a host of family and friends to cherish her memory.

She was the daughter of the late Harold Roach Jr, and granddaughter of the late
Wendall Harold and Willie Ruth Pritchett Roach Sr. Whitney was an
extraordinary person who loved spending time with her family and friends. She
was known for her sparkling personality and always brought a smile to
everyone’s face. She had a kind heart, genuine nature, and infectious laugh that
would lift the spirits of those around her.   Whitney had many passions in life but
above all was devoted to the outdoors and physical fitness. She completed the
Half Marathon “Go Ruck” Race in Atlanta.  She loved hiking and hunting, and
especially loved fishing.

Survivors include her spouse Keeley Carey, Royston; daughter Rylie Sanders,
Lavonia; mother Melody Ann Roach, Canon; sister and brother-in-law, Bethany
and Brandon James, Dearing GA; Grandparents, Charles “Junior” and Dianne
Hendrix, of the Goldmine Community; aunt and uncle Bettie Ruth and Dwayne
Grizzell, Canon, GA.

Whitney’s life will be commemorated with a Memorial Gathering at Ginn Funeral
Home in Carnesville, Sunday afternoon, June 11, 2023.   Family and friends will
gather from 3pm until 5pm, to  share stories and memories of her sweet soul. In
lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the benefit
account of her daughter Rylie Sanders (custodian Keeley Carey) at any Pinnacle
Bank branch.

The family also request everyone wear their brightest T-shirts or fishing or
hunting attire to commemorate the life of our beloved Whitney.
