Wood, Mary Elizabeth Maxwell,
97, passed away on Tuesday, July 14, 2015, in Louisville at Baptist East Hospital, after a long illness.
She was born near Central City, KY, on March 21, 1918, to the late Cicero H. and Annie Maxwell. In 1936, she graduated from Drakesboro High School, where she met Edgar Morton Wood. They married in 1936 and in 1940 became parents of Mary Anne. In 1949 the family moved to the Louisville area.
Mary Elizabeth was a member of Okolona Baptist Church for more than 50 years.
She was preceded in death by her husband in 1965, and later by two brothers, A.J. and Charles William Maxwell; four sisters, Madie Lee Buchanan, Ruth Maxwell, Maxine Negley and Carrie Marie Ray.
She is survived by her daughter, Mary Anne Wood-Thompson and many nieces, nephews and friends.
Over the years she discovered some of her artistic abilities, which include, painting flowers with water colors, making dresses with a needle and thread rather than a sewing machine and refinishing furniture. She was also an avid reader who especially loved poetry, biographies and her Bible.
The Wood family wishes to express appreciation for the care given by Home Instead, Hosparus, The Altenheim and Baptist East Hospital. Special thanks to Dr. Frank Harrell and Dr. Lawrence Loehle, also to Tonia Murray , Darolyn Tobin and Mary Trimble who cared for her at home with such love.
Mary Elizabeth will be greatly missed. She was a most loving mother, wife and friend.
A service to celebrate the life of Mary Elizabeth will be held Saturday, July 18, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. in the chapel of Arch L. Heady-Okolona, 8519 Preston Hwy. Louisville, KY, with a graveside service to follow in Rochester Cemetery in Rochester, KY.
