Mona Kate Searcy Carrico, 89, of Denton, Texas, passed away on December 22, 2021, in Denton. She was born in Alamogordo, New Mexico on March 18, 1932, to John Henry and Mary Esther (MacDonald) Searcy.
She married James Wallace Carrico, Jr. (Jim), in Alamogordo, New Mexico on November 4, 1950. Jim enjoyed a career in the Air Force, so she enjoyed living in places as far apart as Germany, Fairbanks, Alaska, and Miami, Florida. She achieved a Bachelor's Degree in English at Incarnate Word University in San Antonio, Texas. After Jim retired from the Air Force, they ultimately settled in Denton, where Mona took a Master's Degree in Library Science at Texas Women's University, and ultimately worked for the university as a librarian until her retirement.
Mona enjoyed many of the arts. She learned to play the piano as a girl and the organ as an adult, often accompanying worship service in churches. She worked in painting, pottery, fiber arts, and enjoyed photography. But her greatest passion was genealogy and tracing her family lineage back generation after generation, including qualifying for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution through two different family lines. She travelled to many parts of the country and to Europe working on her genealogy.
She became a member of St. David of Wales Episcopal Church after moving to Denton. She loved the church and the people that comprised it, and served willingly and faithfully as opportunities were available. Her greatest regret during the Covid times was that she wasn't able to be with her fellow believers.
Mona is survived by her husband, James Wallace Carrico, Jr. of Denton; her son, David Carrico of Oklahoma City, OK.; her brother, Travis Searcy of Tijeras, New Mexico; three grandchildren, Jennifer Lynn of Bartlesville, Oklahoma; Jeff Carrico of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Jillian Jones of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; six great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
A Memorial Service and Mass will be held at St. David of Wales Episcopal Church in Denton on Saturday January 22, 2022, at 2 p.m.
