My Blessing to the Wooley and extended family, Just unbelieveable that just a few weeks ago Mrs.Wooley and I were talking in the Hospital about birth dates how her Birthday was coming up and that She lost her husband many years ago and carrying on a conversation laughing, only to find out that God called her home right before her 87th Birthday.. She was a remarkable Women,Mother ,Grandmother Great Grand mother. Mildred will be very very missed. I'm so sorry that I could not attend the services. But know that she is on my mind and heart.

Death Leaves a Heartache that no one can Heal
Love leaves a Memory that no one can Steal

Love and God Bless

The Milligan's have lost a dear friend and neighbor. Although we only knew her for about 20 years, it seemed like a lifetime. She was always friendly and outgoing. We will miss those multiple weekly visits with her.
Unfortunately, the last time we spoke was the day before her passing and we
will always rember her last words to us
"Don, I'm just plumb worn out". She als seemed that way at that time so we
responded by asking her to "please try and get some rest". Little did we know that her rest would be eternal. We miss you everyday now. God speed in
your final rest, soar with egals and fly with angels.

Mr. Wooley was my little league coach way back in the fifties. Mrs. Wooley was always so kind and gentle to me and the other boys on the team. I remember going to Mr. Wooley's home so we could have a "come to Jesus" meeting about whether I wanted to play baseball seriously or just be a goof-off(as usual). Mr. Wooley was tough but Mrs. Wooley was very understanding and gracious but she was not one to beat around the bush. She knew I was a Class "A" goof-off and would never be a serious player. She never was cross with me and I remember her vividly helping Mr. Wooley manage the team.

I am so sorry to read of Mrs. Wooley's passing. I worked with her for 10 years at Holladay and admired her greatly. Her strength, wisdom, caring and guidance for both chidren and teachers was part of the success of that school. She was an admirable and amazing woman of great character and meant a great deal to all of us.

Dear Sharon, Randy and Ray: A large memory of my childhood is remembering the many times my family and yours spent together - especially during Randy and Rick's Salpointe years. Great times - fun times! Your mom will always be remembered as the most caring, sharing, and loving lady ever to walk the face of this earth. Even tho you cannot see her, she is with you still. A mother like yours is more than a memory. She is a living presence. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
