Dear Family and Friends,
After spending a perfect life surrounded by family and friends I left to join my Lord on July 6, 2025.
I am now with my son Matthew, parents Charles and Helen Harris, siblings, Tim Harris and Maggie Harris Isaac and friends who have gone before me.
I would like to express my love to my family, Dick Woolley, my loving husband of 52 years, my beautiful daughters, Gina Woolley Thomas and Maggie Woolley Botner, their amazing spouses, Chris Botner and Chris Thomas and my perfect grandchildren, Jack and Aly Thomas, Reece, William, Graham and Creighton Botner, (Steven and Gigi Bennet).
My siblings and their spouses, Timmy Harris (Jennie), Terry Harris (Stephanie), Mike Harris, Pat Harris (Michelle), Bridget Harris Sheehan (Jeff), Ann Harris Bennet (Steve), Desse Harris Cornetet (Brian) and Maggie Harris Isaac. My in-laws Betty Woolley Logsdon, Judy Woolley Troutman, Paul Woolley, Mary Jo Woolley (wife of Jimmy Woolley), nieces and nephews and cousins.
During my long life I was blessed to meet and be a part of many groups of friends. Arts and Crafts, which I was the president of for life, The St. Albert ladies who lunch, The Thursday Night Dinner Group, My closest but furthest neighbors, Colleen and Barry Morris and their family and friends from Chicago along with Martha Yeoman, My Friday Night Dinner Club.
I was extremely blessed to have lived a dream come true. This is not goodbye, but see you later.
Love, Loretta
