Obituary for Mary G. Wood (Stacy)
Mary G. Wood, 85, of Carthage, passed away unexpectedly on the evening of Saturday, August 5, 2023 at Rush Memorial Hospital.
She was born on March 22, 1938 in Rush County, Indiana, a daughter of the late Harry and Beatrice (Whitfield) Stacy.
Mary was a 1956 graduate of Carthage High School and she married her high school sweetheart, John Wood, on October 28, 1956. They were a “Country Couple,” and when the government built a dam on their family farm in Carthage, they turned the property into Wood’s Lake and Campground. Mary loved running the bait shop on the campground. For many years, John and Mary enjoyed playing and performing Country and Western music across Indiana and on the weekends at the campground. Mary enjoyed cooking, fishing, caring for animals, and wintering with John and their family in Okeechobee, Florida.
Those left to cherish Mary’s memory include her husband of 66 years, John Wood; her daughter, Juliann Davis of Carthage; four grandchildren, Starla (Mike) Devlin of Clermont, FL, David Lockridge of Atlanta, GA, Karen Whorton of Carthage, and Greg Wood of Rushville; several great-grandchildren including Logan and Amelia Devlin, and a sister-in-law, Mary Lynn Lareau of Fishers.
In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by a son, John Wood Jr.
