Charlotte Maule Carey, 71, passed away on April 1, 2017, at her home in Merkel, TX. 
 Charlotte was born on April 13, 1945, to George and Josie Maule. She grew up on 
their farm in Camp Springs, TX. She graduated from Hobbs, TX as valedictorian in 
1963. Charlotte married Scott L. Carey on May 8, 1964. 
 Charlotte began her career in county government as assistant Pecos County Auditor 
in Ft. Stockton, TX in January 1979. She was appointed county auditor on March 7, 
1993. She continued serving in this position until her retirement in 2004. She was a 
member of the Texas Association of County Auditors where she served as Director 
from 1996-1998. She was then elected President of the association in 2001. During 
her time as auditor, she worked with several senators and representatives in Austin 
crafting legislation pertaining to county government. In May of 2000 Charlotte was 
appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Texas County and District Retirement 
System by then governor, George W. Bush. She was awarded the prestigious Jerry 
Ware Leadership Award by the Texas Association of County Auditors in 2003. 
Charlotte continued to grow in her chosen career by becoming a level II certified 
investment officer. She never stopped learning and growing and was very respected 
by her peers. 
 Charlotte was a wonderful, Christian wife, mother and friend who was unwavering in 
her faith. She loved studying the Bible and teaching others about God’s word. She 
was a member of the Merkel Church of Christ. Charlotte was very kind and 
encouraging to others. Classmates said she was the “wisest, most mature and well-
mannered of us all.” She enjoyed sewing, cooking, writing poetry and being with her 
grandchildren.
