Carrie May Wolf

Carrie May Wolf (nee Moore) passed away peacefully on October 18, 2022 at the age of 99. She was born in 20 Mile Stand on May 11, 1923 to Glenn and Ruth Moore. She graduated from Loveland High School where she was a State of Ohio award winning orator. After high school she wished to become a Latin Teacher, but instead attended the Salmon P. Chase School of Law where she became an executive secretary. During WWII, she corresponded with many soldiers trying to lift their morale. She married her favorite pen pal, Charles, in 1946 and they shared over 53 years of wedded life. She moved to Amelia in 1947 where she became active in the community as an advisor for Bells and Bows 4-H club and as a choir director and Sunday School Superintendent for the Mt. Holly United Church of Christ which later became the Mt. Holly Christian Chapel. She and Charles converted the Union Chapel Church into their family home, where they lived until their expanding family forced them to build a larger home on the adjacent property across the creek. Together, she and Charles cared for and managed a plethora of farm animals, tended a family garden and enjoyed the everyday trials of rural living. She continued her love of writing through creating poetry and writing letters of encouragement to those in need. She was always eager to play board games, especially Scrabble, and relished her trips and luncheons with family and friends. She was a Cincinnati Reds fan and also enjoyed countless hours of watching collegiate sports, primarily the Tristate-area basketball teams. She spent over 28 years working for the West Clermont Local Schools as an executive secretary, first within Amelia High School and then as the Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools. She relished every day within the schools and formed many friendships that endured throughout the years. It was her love of friends and family that drove her to overcome various health issues throughout her life. In the face of adversity, she persevered and used this strength to encourage others. She strove to stay relevant in the changing times and even after losing her eye sight, continued her love of reading with the help of the Association for the Blind. Her acceptance and love for others shown as a beacon for us all.
