Carey Etier was born September 3, 1938, in Richland Parish to the union of his 
parents, Will Etier and Emma Roberts Etier, and he passed from this life to his 
eternal home in Jesus' arms on May 7, 2024. He was an active member of Start 
Baptist Church, Start, Louisiana. After high school, Carey enlisted in the Army 
and served our country in Germany on an Armored Tank Brigade Combat Team. After 
returning home he worked for Columbian Chemical of Monroe until the company 
transferred to Marietta, GA and he went with them. He worked there for a total 
of 37 years, retiring in 2003. Carey moved home to Hebert and after 5 years of 
staying home in total retirement, other than honey-dos, he went to work with the 
Sheriff's Office as a jailer. He enjoyed his co-workers at both places of 
employment. Carey's hobbies were grooming his lawn and getting wood ready for 
those warm enjoyable fires in winter. He enjoyed visiting with friends from 
Georgia to Louisiana and he loved making his home happy. He will be remembered 
for his quiet and gentle personality. Carey was preceded in death by his 
parents; his brothers: George Etier, Herbert Etier, Waymon Etier, Frank Etier, 
and James Etier; sisters: Nellie Ledbetter, Effie Zeagler, Margie Poole, Betty 
Sue Etier, and Anna Laura Eves.

Etier; daughter, Kim Etier of West Monroe; step-children, Deanna Hoffman (Paul) 
of Georgia and Kevin Murphy of Houston, TX; grandchildren: Chloe Beckham, Dillon 
Beckham, Tyler Franklin, Noah Hoffman and Logan Hoffman; great-grandchild, 
Hadassah Rose Franklin; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
