Mary Carol Len, Age 81, of South Fayette, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on July 28, 2026. She was born on May 28, 1945, and resided for numerous years in Scott Township and Upper St. Clair.

Mary Carol was devoted wife to, and preceded in death by, her husband John J. Len. She was a beloved mother to Deborah (Kenneth) Wolfson and Michael (Stephanie) Len and cherished grandmother to the grandchildren she adored, Nicholas & Maya Wolfson and Donovan & Camden Len. She was preceded in death by her parents Frank and Fannie Calderone. Mary Carol was a supportive sibling to her identical twin sister, the late Esther DeAngelis and her younger brother, the late Frances G. ‘Butch’ (Janette) Calderone. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Mary Carol was a 1963 graduate of Chartiers Valley High School and graduated from the Pittsburgh Hospital Nursing School in 1966, where she became a Registered Nurse. While she cared for many patients at several different hospitals and retirement facilities in Pittsburgh, her greatest accomplishment was delivering compassionate care as Director of Nursing at Country Meadows Nursing Home in Bridgeville.

While her late husband, John, was the ‘Glue’ of the family, Mary Carol was the ‘Rock’ that always had a calming, steady personality with her children and grandchildren. In addition to her family, the true passion of her life was her nursing career where she took incredible pride with providing the highest standard of care to the many patients she interacted with throughout the years. In her later years, she resided at Concordia of Bridgeville Assisted Living where she was always concerned about her fellow residents’ well-being. Mary Carol’s family would like to especially thank all the nurses and staff there for providing the same elevated level of care that she provided to others throughout her career.

It was a true honor to care for her these last few years. She always had a smile and I loved the way she would mimic what you would say to her. I've never met 2 people that loved each other the way her and John did. She always brought a smile to my face and my soul. She will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for allowing us the honor of caring for her. She is already deeply missed.

I have enjoyed every talk and every story Mary Carol has shared with me for the last 8 years of providing care for her. She was always the first to wave hi when I walked past the dining room, the first to wave while her and John sat outside on every warm evening. They had the love and devotion you only see in movies or read about in a book. They both loved to talk about their family, and they treated me as if I were family too. It has been an absolute pleasure helping Mary Carol for so many years and getting to know her family. Rest in peace beautiful lady, we will meet again someday, and I know you will be the first one to wave hi when we do.
