Patty J. Woolery

Patty June (Jimison) Woolery age 86, of Glasgow, Montana. passed away Sunday, November 2, 2025 at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow, Montana.

Patty was born June 19, 1939 in Savage, Montana to Dell and Purvie (Davis) Jimison. She attended Glasgow High School. She met her first husband, John Grant, early in life, and together they welcomed four children: Johnny Pat, Wendy, Tammy, and Holly. Patty found love again with her second husband, Monty Woolery. Together, they welcomed their son, Donny. She cherished every moment with her children, and her home was always filled with love, acceptance, and a sense of togetherness. Even though she was a young mom, she provided her children with steadfast support and unconditional love. As a devoted sister, Patty's love for her family was unwavering. She cared deeply for all her siblings, and her compassion was especially evident in the way she looked after her youngest sister, Judy, who had Down syndrome. Patty was cherished by her grandchildren, who affectionately called her "Gramma." She was always known as the fun grandma-the one who would join in games, embark on imaginative adventures, and dance to her favorite rock'n'roll tunes. Her home was a place of laughter and excitement, where rules were sometimes bent in favor of making memories. Her grandchildren fondly recall the times they took advantage of Gramma's playful spirit, knowing she would always be up for a little mischief and a lot of love. Patty was known for her infectious laugh and her ever-present sense of humor. She had a remarkable ability to find joy in the small things in life. Her optimism and lighthearted spirit were a source of comfort and happiness to everyone around her. Patty had a playful spirit and a love for excitement, which often led her to the casino or a friendly card game with family and friends. She relished the thrill of placing a bet, whether it was at the slot machines, the bingo hall, or around the kitchen table during a lively round of poker. A lifelong animal lover, Patty had a soft spot for every creature, great and small. She could never resist welcoming a new pet into the family when her own children were young, and she delighted in hearing stories about all of her "grandpets." Whether it was a rambunctious puppy, a curious kitten, or a feathered friend, Patty's heart was open to them all.

Patty's legacy is one of laughter and love. She touched the lives of everyone she met, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She is survived by her sister Wilma Young, Conrad, MT.; her children; Tammy (Tom) Chapman, Glasgow, MT, Holly (Joe) Dennison Lake Forest, CA, Donny (Tonya) Woolery, Dickinson, ND.; her grandchildren, Tim Whitlow, Erin Whitlow, Candice (Reed) Cooper, Taylor Woolery, Tessa Chapman, Lindsey (Casey) Julson, and Evan Woolery; her great grandchildren Kembren Nelson and Jett Julson; and her honorary daughter Roxann Plummer and family, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, five brothers: Harold, Virgil, Rollie, Jack, and George; five sisters: Neva, Ruth, Maudie, Marlene, and Judy; spouses John Grant and Monty Woolery; and two children Johnny Pat Grant and Wendy Nelson.
