Mary Carroll Schoch Weckerly, on December 14, 2015, of Washington Twp. Age 94. Beloved wife of Raymond Weckerly, Sr. and the late Philip Schoch. Loving mother of Philip Schoch (Pat), Raymond Weckerly, Jr. (Carol), Theresa DiMeo (Fred), Margaret Mary Cousins (Glenn) and Robert Weckerly. Devoted grandmother of Eric, Jared, Rachel, Daniel, Gina and Christian. Cherished great-grandmother of Ethan, Emily, Samantha and Alina.

Mary Carroll “94” now walks with God, her brother and other loved family members. Mary was the only sister to five brothers, who she always watched over. Mary was married to Phil Schoch on June, 7, 1943 and they had one son Phil. On November 9, 1944, her husband gave his life for us during WWII. Mary would remarry years later to another service man Ray Weckerly. Their children are Ray, Theresa, Margaret Mary and Rob.

She was always active in the Catholic faith showing her faith by making meals for those in need and giving prayer in solidarity. She made room in her home for those that needed one Marie Carroll, Joe Carroll, Helen Heaney and Wilhelmina Weckerly. Providing all of her family with love and support. Mary was a very strong woman nicknamed “The Bull” for the way she muscled through not complaining and getting done what was needed to in spite of her small size.

Mary was always taking care of someone. Until a few weeks ago she tended to her husband until her body could not continue. Now she cares for us all in a spiritual manner. She has taught us all to be strong, care for others and that family is a precious gift.

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Ray Weckerly, her children Phil Schoch, Ray, Theresa, Margaret Mary, Rob Weckerly and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing Friday, December 18, 2015, 10:15 – 11:45 am at SS Peter & Paul RC Church, 362 Ganttown Rd., Turnersville. Mass of Christian Burial 12:00 pm. Interment Gloucester County Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Williamstown.

Your mom will be greatly missed. Each year she would always send the first Christmas card we'd get; was even thinking of her a couple of days ago. I also enjoyed getting her letters as recently as a few months ago. We so enjoyed visiting your family when we were down, and she'd always have a little box of chocolates tucked away for us. Many years ago as a child I remember playing in your wonderful backyard, your beautiful green lawn, how you ate lunch at noon every day no matter what, and that Monday was laundry day, no matter what. Her devotion to her family was resolute, her compassion for others unmistakable. We know she is in a better place and that we will see her again someday. Our prayers are with your family during this difficult time. I hope she and our mom are visiting and having a cup of tea together. God bless you all.

Well, an era is gone. God Bless All of the Weckerlys. The last Carroll sibling has been rocketed for sure to Sainthood and zoomed past the Pearly Gates to Heaven. Aunt Mary was beautiful inside and out, fun, to the point, stuck to her daily time schedule and was devoted to her Faith and Family. It was especially wonderful to see everyone at her birthday party which we all thoroughly enjoyed. She never wavered to give her wonderful opinion (the last I recall was something about chickens/goats/farm views). Sharp as a whip, that Aunt Mary was. If any of us can emulate her and be one spec of Aunt Mary, we’re surely blessed. All of her nieces and nephews adored her. What a gal! You will be so missed by us all! Love, Maureen Carroll Gornowski (Bob/Robert & Tracy/Julie) a/k/a New Jersey Maureen Carroll

The Naples Carroll's send their love along with deep and lasting admiration for our Aunt Mary. I recall on countless occasions how my mother "Kate" would refer to Mary as a living saint. Well now Mary is a saint…as she should be. My mom and Dad will be pleased to see her. Mary's memory will continue to inspire those who knew her, not to just speak kind words but also to carry out acts of kindness and love to others. I remember my family visiting the Weckerly’s Washington Township House quite often during my childhood. I now suspect we did so because my mother wanted the goodness of Mary’s family to rub off on us. As an 11 or 12 year old boy I went to Aunt Mary's house with my Dad on the day his mother, Marie Carroll, had passed. That was the first time I saw my Dad and Uncle Franny cry together. I also remember receiving birthday cards every year without fail from our Aunt Mary, even here in Florida. Seems no matter how many times I relocated with my family, Mary tracked us down to make sure we knew we were loved. We send our condolences and heartfelt sympathy to Uncle Ray as well as the rest of Weckerly and the Schoch families. With all our love...Jim, Aileen, Colleen, Jimi and Liam Carroll
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
