    Inez Mae (Apple) Wood, 100, of New Castle, passed away early Saturday morning, April 11, 2015. She was born March 12, 1915 in Rush County, a daughter of the late Faran Brinton McClellan and Ida Bell (Clark) Apple. Inez was a graduate of the Class of 1933 from Mays High School and Ball State Teachers College in 1935.

Inez also managed the Baker Park Pool and Concession and Tots and Teens Children’s Clothing Shop on South Main Street until the store closed. She then went to work at Sears and was manager of the Catalog Department, retiring in 1980 when the New Castle Sears closed. Following her retirement, she did babysitting at the Rose Bowl, Mt. Summit Christian Church and for several doctors. In 1992 she went to work at Walmart as a greeter and retired in 2008 at the age of 93. Inez was a life-long member of Center Christian Church in Mays. Inez loved being around her family and organized and hosted the annual family reunion. Her favorite times were spent swimming and enjoying her backyard. She often commented that there was no reason to go on vacation because she vacationed in her backyard.
