Carly Ann Monroe Memorial Fund

Carly Ann Monroe - January 4, 2002 - May 16, 2017


Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this family during thier time of need. Our goal was reached. The family extends its sincere appreciation to all that have been so suppportive financially, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you for remembering Carly.

Who was Carly? - Carly was a sweet, bright, young girl. Bright smile. Infectious laugh. Well liked. A good friend to many. She was important to so many. But Carly also hid a deep sadness within that she rarely allowed others to see. She battled with depression and despair. Carly had counseling and a loving family that tried everything they could to keep Carly's head above water. To keep her with us every day. At just 15 years of age, she tragically took her own life when she felt there was no other answer. The loss and pain felt by her family and friends is immeasurable.

PO3 Carly Monroe - Carly was also a U.S. Naval Sea Cadet in the Palm Beach Division. She started on November 23rd, 2014 and had worked her way up to being a Petty Officer Third Class. She was a leader and a symbol of all that was good about being a Sea Cadet. Carly is also the daughter of our Executive Officer of the Division, Jennie Monroe. This has made the loss even greater to all her fellow cadets and the staff. Jennie and her husband Andy, devote countless volunteer hours to work with the Sea Cadet program and Jennie is the fuel that kept our engines running.

Carly is greatly loved by all her shipmates.

Why we need you - This page was set up by the Commanding Officer of the Palm Beach Division to honor our fallen cadet, Carly Ann Monroe, and assist her family with funeral and burial expenses.
