Cary graduated from Fennimore High School in 1979 as a junior. She attended nursing school at Gateway Technical College in Racine. Cary was an RN for Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare up until the time of her death.

Cary was such a thoughtful, caring, and giving person. She would help anyone in need without question. Cary was also a lover of animals as well as people. She loved all her pets including her dogs and chickens. Cary enjoyed travelling and some of her favorite destinations were St. Germaine where she loved her boat and fishing as well as just going home to visit in Fennimore. She loved to go antiquing and bring home many items to polish up into her own treasures. Cary was an avid Packer fan and could always be found on a Sunday in the fall cheering on her favorite team. She was a devoted member of North Cape Lutheran Church. Above all, Cary adored her family and home tremendously and cherished every moment spent with all of them.
