Mrs. Woolsey (as I grew up calling her) changed countless lives during her teaching career, including mine. She will be missed by many, and I wish you peace as you grieve.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. While Judy's company will be missed here on earth by all her loving family and friends we know she is now at peace in heaven with Our Heavenly Father.
I first met Judy 57 years ago at Grace Lutheran Elementary School when she was introduced as Miss Levenhagen, the new Kindergarten teacher. She was a great teacher and it was obvious she had a special talent for music. Some of my most fond memories were the Christmas pagents and music. Then, as time progressed and many of us started Our Shepherd Judy would continue on coordinating many more wonderful pagents, choir performances and was a tremendous organist.
Thank You Judy for your musical inspiration and influence on my life.
I pray God Blesses You and Your Family in this time of sorrow and as you transition into a celebration of Judy's life and gifts that she shared.
