Jack Clay Woolman

Jack Clay Woolman peacefully left the arms of his loving parents and entered the arms of Jesus on December 25, 2025. Born just shy of 28 weeks on December 18, 2025, Jack Clay weighed 11 ounces and measured 9.5 inches long. During his short time on earth, he touched countless lives and was deeply loved by his family, friends, and all who prayed for him. His life, though brief, drew many hearts closer to Jesus and became a testament to faith, love, and the power of prayer.
Jack Clay is lovingly survived by his parents, Josh and Eva Woolman of Vinita; maternal grandmother Susanna Franklin of Vinita; paternal grandmother Andrea Gaddy of Pryor; Aunt Anna Clifton and husband Brian of Las Vegas, NV; Uncle Noah Franklin and wife Taylor of Fayetteville, AR; Aunt Amanda Smith of Pryor; and Uncle Derek Woolman of Pryor; as well as many great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins who will forever hold him in their hearts.
He was welcomed into Heaven by those who went before him, including his maternal grandfather Jay Franklin; great-grandparents Max and Rotraud Koesler and Bob and Betty Franklin; paternal grandfather Randy Woolman; and great-grandparents Jack and Bea Gaddy and Virgil and Buddy Woolman. We rejoice knowing they are together, whole and eternal, in the presence of our Savior.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 p.m. on January 1, 2026, at the Burckhalter-Highsmith Chapel in Vinita.
The private graveside service will be held on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 11 a.m., Pastor Davies Van Pool will officiate.
