Mary McCarthy Obituary
Mary was a treasure hunter, problem solver, and artist. She found treasures on every adventure – anything from antiques and collectibles to rocks and sticks, to friendships. Mary's creativity allowed her to design and make anything she set her mind to. She made stained glass pieces, painted, sculpted, played music, and loved interior design. Others sought her advice because of her keen eye and ability to solve any problem.
Mary is survived by her husband Tom, son Thomas J McCarthy married to Connie Jewell and living in Richland Center; Daughter Joelle McCarthy married to Scott Blackburn and living in Monroe, UT; Grandchildren Mallary, Kestrel, Josiah, Scarlett, and Connor; Sister In Law Kelly Coolidge living in Oregon.
Mary will be remembered by her family as an adventurous, fun, and fierce life force who unwaveringly supported those she loved. She was a warrior who never stopped fighting.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Phoenix Center Bowling Alley in Richland Center on Saturday July 22nd, 2023, from 1pm to 5pm. The Pratt Funeral and Cremation Service is assisting the family with local arrangements.

Mary Coolidge McCarthy was a high school classmate of mine. Her brother John was a good friend of mine as well who I spent many hours with. And Mary's husband Tom was my barber whenever I came home to Richland Center. Mary was also my mother's hair stylist for many years. I am saddened by her passing, far too early in my humble opinion. My most sincere condolences to her family. I know she will be missed dearly by them all.
