Edgar WOOLISON Obituary

WOOLISON, Edgar When Edgar was born on May 8, 1935, the world didn't realize it would enjoy 82 years with a man who would serve in the US Navy, retire after 22 years from Tucson Police Dept, serve ten years with UofA Police Dept, and contribute to the world a wonderful family. Edgar, known by many as "Ken", was born in Niagara Falls, NY, then moved his family to Tucson in 1961. After losing his wife Leola to cancer, he found true love a second time with his current wife of 11 years Donna, and in doing so nearly doubled his family.  He loved spending time with family, but also enjoyed camping, bowling, darts, horseshoes and most recently loved going to the casinos. Ken passed away on October 19, 2017 surrounded by loved ones. He is survived by his wife, Donna; children, Wendy, Laura (Ray), Bud, Rick and Pam (Mike); grandchildren, Andrew (Autumn), Brian (Elizabeth), Lindsay (Mark), Tyler, Justin W., Ashleigh, Sasha, Malia, Justin C. (Jaime), Bill (Lanie) and 11 great-grandchildren, as well as many other family and friends who loved him very much. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Far Horizon's Clubhouse, 7570 E. Speedway Blvd., dress is casual.  In lieu of flowers, donations may go to Peppi's House in Tucson. Arrangements by HUDGEL'S SWAN FUNERAL HOME.

"Wooly" as he was affectionately called during my years of working with him at the Tucson Police Department was well liked and respected by all. I surely enjoyed him as a partner in the Warrants Office and as a friend.

Ken, you were honest, straight forward and loyal to a fault. You were a great stepdad in law and more than that a friend. I will always value our time spent together. Arizona wont be the same without you.
