Mark S. Wolfel

Mark S. Wolfel, 64, of St. Marys, passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, following a lifetime defined by unending kindness, a gentle spirit, and heart that touched all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was born on August 30, 1961 in St. Marys, PA, a son of the late Raymond "Joe" and Yolanda Dragone Wolfel.

On September 19, 2013, in Key West, FL, he married Diane "Missy" Ginther Wolfel, who survives.  Together they've shared many years of love, laughter and many fun traveling adventures.

Mark was a graduate of Elk Christian High School, Class of 1979. Mark retired after driving truck for many years at Alpha Precision Group. Mark found joy in life's simple and meaningful moments-casting a line into quiet waters, feeling the warmth of the sun at the beach, and spending countless hours outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature. He treasured time spent around a card table, playing cards with friends, where stories were shared and laughter was plentiful. But more than any hobby or pastime, he will be remembered for the way he treated others.

He possessed a true servant's heart-always willing to lend a hand, offer quiet support, or put someone else's needs ahead of his own without expecting anything in return. Exceptionally kind and gentle, he carried himself with humility and warmth, treating every person he met with respect, patience, and compassion. He never met a stranger and had a remarkable way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and valued. His greatest joy and proudest role in life was being "Big Mo" to his beloved grandchildren, who adored him beyond measure. To them, he was a steady presence, a gentle soul, and a grandfather whose love, kindness, and unwavering devotion created memories that will live on in the hearts of his beloved grandchildren.

In addition to his wife, Diane "Missy" Wolfel, he is survived by five children; Molly (Nick) DeStephano of Ridgway, Danielle Wolfel of Natrona Heights, Devin (Tammy) Weis of St. Marys, Steve (Amber) Weis of Treasure Lake, and Jake (Haley) Weis of St. Marys; and by his seven beloved grandchildren; Beau, Carter, Marshall, Lucy, Avery, Hudson, and Ziggy. He is also survived by two siblings; Mike (Darla) Wolfel and Rose (Dewey) Schaut both of St. Marys, and by numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Mark was preceded in death by his niece; Chanel Wolfel.
