Barb was born June 3, 1938 in Peoria to the late Sylvan and Susan Roth Bright. She married her high school sweetheart, Gordon L. Carey on July 16, 1955 in Peoria.

Barb attended Manual High School, and moved with her husband to Biloxi, MS during his time in the service. She took great pride in caring for and loving her family.

She was an avid gardener, even maintaining a water garden and Koi pond. She was instrumental in helping to start her family's business, Butch's Premium Pizza, and used her talents to create the now-famous pig logo, that we dig.
