Carol Ann (Darcy) Wockley

Carol Ann (Darcy) Wockley, 78, a resident of Washington Pa, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Friday, August 30, 2024.

Beloved wife of Thomas J. Wockley, Sr, for 57 years; loving mother of Thomas J. (Barb) Wockley, Jr and Mark A. (Kimberly) Wockley; cherished grandmother of Rebecca, Brenden, Allison, Kate, and Shane Wockley. She took particular joy in watching her grandchildren grow into adulthood. As the mother of boys, she prized her loving relationship with her sons’ wives. Preceded in death by her parents, Thomas V. and Thersea Darcy, and her brothers, Chuckie and Thomas P. Darcy.

Carol was a wonderful mother, always encouraging her son’s and grandchildren’s pursuits in sports and other activities; she enthusiastically supported them at events from grade school to grad school. As someone who had great compassion for others, Carol made a mid-life career change, obtaining her nursing degree from Shadyside School of Nursing and becoming a Registered Nurse. Carol loved life, enjoying time with family and friends, baking cookies (always keeping a secret stash of pizzelles), rooting on Pittsburgh’s sports teams, and playing cards and dominos. Although she will be deeply missed by family and friends, we celebrate the gift of Carol’s life, and the joy she brought to those of us blessed to have known her.

Carol’s deep Catholic faith always guided her. A devoted member of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church – St. Oscar Romero Parrish, she took great pride in participating in Christian Mothers and also volunteered at the church’s foodbank. She had a wonderful devotion to the Blessed Mother, saying daily roseries and she often visited assisted living facilities with the parish priest to lead the rosery for the patients. Carol was a great example of someone who put her faith into action.

At Carol’s request, casual attire for the viewing is suggested.
