Mary Elizabeth Wools, 91, of Carmel, IN passed away May 1, 2018. She was born April 11, 1927 in Indianapolis, IN to Henry and Mary (Emmel) Faulkner.
Mary lived her 91 years of life to the fullest and touched the lives of all those she met.
Affectionately known as “Grandma Mary”, her witty and spunky personality drew everyone to adopt her as their own grandmother. As the caring and loving person she was, she made evident her devotion and dedication to her friends and family. Her affection for her children and grandchildren was known as she was their biggest cheerleader.
She loved spending time with people and enjoyed being a dental assistant, owning a pizza shop, playing cards, bowling, square dancing, teaching Sunday School, and attending Hazel Dell Christian Church.
Her passion for nursing led her to volunteer for 14 years in the ER at St. Vincent Carmel Hospital.
She will be remembered as a loving and devoted sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.
Mary is survived by her son Stephen Wools of Naples, FL; her daughter Debbie (Eric) Cox of Westfield, IN; her sister Martha Urban of Carmel, IN; her grandchildren Brett (Gena) Wools, Geoff (Anne) Cox, Jenny (Jeff) White, Brooke Wools, Jessica (Ben) Evilsizer, Justin (Mishell) Cox, Joanna (Fernando) Santillan, Jordan Cox; and her great-grandchildren Ashley, Maverick, Caleb, Jordyn, Jace, Makenzie, Tucker, Caden, Breelyn, Mikayla, Giovanni, Mariana, Paisley, Liliana, Jae, and Jet.

You will be missed😉 Your memory will live on in the lives of those coming behind you. You were, and are such a big part of everyone and everything in your family. My grandchildren, your great grands, dearly loved their Nana. So glad they had these years with you. What a treasure.

It’s been a sad day to learn of the passing of Mary. Mary was such a delightful spunky lady and truly valued her time with her dear family. It had been my pleasure to help coordinate the dates at the clubhouse for various family functions within the Wool’s family. Mary will be missed within our community.
