Sharlee Woolsey

Sharlee "Shar" (Pebley) Woolsey, 79, of Brigham City, Utah, passed away on

September 13, 2025, in Roy, Utah, from complications of congestive heart failure.

Shar was born on May 15, 1946, in Ogden, Utah, to Ted Pebley and Irene (Van Dusen)

Pebley. She was the only daughter with 11 brothers.

She attended Box Elder High School in Brigham City, Utah. Throughout her life, she

pursued a variety of skills and earned training certificates in meat cutting, cosmetology,

and recreational therapy.

Shar was married to Larry Adams and later to Charles "Chuck" Royce. She was the

proud mother of two sons, Brian Adams and Wade Adams. Family was at the center of

her life, and she cherished her role as a grandmother to Cassie Adams-Durrant, Jason

Adams, Stephanie Adams-Heslop, Bryce Adams, and Hope Adams. Her joy continued

to grow with her great-grandchildren: Aden Facer, Adrienne Durrant, BrookLynn Facer,

Tessa Durrant, Jaylee Adams, and Douglas Adams.

Shar worked for many years as a waitress at the local country club, where her kindness

and warmth made her a favorite among patrons-so much so that many asked for her

to return after she left. She later dedicated herself to caring for others in multiple

retirement homes, where she organized activities and brightened the lives of countless

seniors. While working at a retirement home in Tonopah, Nevada, she found both great

joy and her greatest love, Charles "Chuck" Royce. Shar and her family were heartbroken when Chuck passed away in 2003.

She also worked at the Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind, where her compassion and

connection to people continued to shine. It was there that she introduced her future

daughter-in-law, Lisa, to her son Brian, after noticing they shared the same birthday.

Beyond her professional life, Shar was proud to serve her community as a member of

the Box Elder Eagles Auxiliary #2919. She held many offices over the years, including

trustee, inside guard, and Jr. Past President, and was honored to serve as Madam

President from 2000 to 2001.

Shar had a lifelong love of crafting and creating "cute" things. When her grandchildren

came to visit, she always had a craft ready-whether it was painting, gluing, or building

little knick-knacks together. Later in life, she especially enjoyed diamond art, producing

many sparkling pictures that she lovingly shared with her family and friends.

Her nieces and nephews fondly remember her "special coffee," which was far more

sugar, cream, and milk than actual coffee. Shar was also known for her generous

spirit-often giving selflessly to others, even to the point of personal sacrifice, a trait

some would take advantage of.

Growing up as the only girl among her brothers, Shar's high school dating life was made

difficult by her protective siblings, who often chased suitors away. She remained

especially close to her father, proudly carrying the reputation of being a "daddy's girl."

Shar was preceded in death by her parents, Ted and Irene Pebley; and her brothers

Jerry, Dennis, Timothy, Clifford, Edward, Victor, Lester, and James.

She is survived by her brothers: Keith Pebley, Gary Pebley, and Mickey Pebley; sons: Brian Adams and Wade Adams; her grandchildren: Cassie Adams-Durrant, Jason Adams, Stephanie Adams-Heslop, Bryce Adams, and Hope Adams; and her great-grandchildren: Aden Facer, Adrienne Durrant, BrookLynn Facer, Tessa Durrant, Jaylee Adams, and Douglas Adams.

A graveside service will be held on September 25, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Brigham

City Cemetery in Brigham City, Utah.

The family would like to thank Gil Pebley, Debbie Kelley, Dorothy Yantz, and the hospice

staff and nurses for their loving care and support.
