Charles Arthur Scholl Sr.

Charles “Chuck” Scholl, owner & operator of Wood Brothers Jewelers, passed away May 15th with Marsha laying at his side. He was born on March 1st, 1941, to John and Allyne "Bower" Scholl in Memphis, Indiana.

Chuck loved his craft of jewelry making. It wasn’t about the money for Chuck. It was the joy he got from creating one of a kind, unique pieces, showcasing his amazing talent. He spent two years serving his country in the United States Army. In 2022 he received the Indiana Salute to Veterans Distinguished Veteran Award. Over the years Chuck enjoyed hunting with his buddies as well as fishing. He and Marsha spent many weekends fishing with their friends on Patoka Lake.

Chuck never met a stranger. He was definitely “one of a kind”, a loyal friend, a devoted partner, an ultimate jokester and a truly kind and caring human being, loved by all who had the privilege of being a part of his life.
