MARY CATHERINE COLLINS WOLF, 87, of Forsyth, MO passed away March 31, 2015 at Shiloh Nursing and Rehab in Springdale, AR. She was born May 29, 1927 in Cedar Creek, MO and was a longtime resident of Taney County. She graduated from Forsyth High School, class of 1945.
She was preceded in death by her parents Tom and Rhoda Collins, her husband D. Carl Wolf, her son W. Harold Wolf, her brothers Howard and Truman, and her sisters Ruth Stacey, Bess Wolf, Gertrude Reger, Bertha Adams Courtwright, and Edna Pride. She is survived by her son, Duane Wolf, his wife Nancy of Fayetteville, AR and their son Douglas of Riverside, CA , and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary married Carl on June 4, 1944 in Baltimore, MD while Carl was in the Navy. Mary was an exceptional cook and loved preparing meals for people with hearty appetites and was legendary for her coconut cream pies and cinnamon rolls. Mary was an outdoors person and an avid gardener who enjoyed sharing her produce with friends and neighbors. She loved fishing and especially floating Beaver Creek which she did the last time on her 61st birthday. She made many beautiful quilts that she gifted to friends and family. In addition to being a homemaker and helpmate, Mary worked for many years at the Forsyth Super Market before she began farming full-time on Swan Creek and later near Bradleyville. She was a loving and caring person and her top priority was always her family. Following Carl’s death, Mary volunteered as a “Pink Lady” at Skagg’s Hospital in Branson for ten years and the Thrift Shop in Forsyth. She also very much enjoyed sharing time with her friends and relatives at various events. In March 2009, Mary moved to Arkansas to be closer to her family.
Visitation will be on Mon. April 6, 2015 from 9:00 to 10:00 am. at Forsyth Whelchel Funeral Chapel with funeral service at 10:00 am. Burial will be at Ozarks Memorial Park Cemetery in Branson.
