Frederick Woolsey Obituary
Woolsey
MILTON - Frederick C. Woolsey, 69, lifelong resident of Milton, NY passed away April 29, 2011 at Wingate at Ulster.
Son of Adele Woolsey Lyons and the late Frederick C. Woolsey, Fred was born in Poughkeepsie, NY on June 9, 1941.
He graduated from Marlboro High School and Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, OH.
Mr. Woolsey taught school briefly in Wappingers Falls and spent a year teaching in an American school in Stuttgart, Germany, returning in 1968 to take a position in sales, which was the start of a lifetime career in sales.
Fred retired from Hyde Park Motors in 2004 but served as a consultant until the dealership closed.
A member of the Milton Methodist Church from childhood, Fred often played the organ for church services. He occasionally filled in as an organist for the Milton and Marlboro Presbyterian churches. He lent his support to the Friends of Milton Train Station renovation.
He was also one of those creative people who turned a hobby - lamp making - into a business.
He is survived by his mother, Adele Woolsey Lyons, Highland, NY, his sister, Karen Woolsey Lloyd (Ronald), Lakeland, FL, his brother, Richard Woolsey, Clifton Park, NY, niece, Tracy Stajcar (Mark), Strongsville, OH, nephew, Evan Lloyd (Robin), San Francisco, CA, niece, Megan Woolsey Collins (Chris), Westfield, NJ, and nephew, Dr. Joshua Woolsey, DVM, Silver Spring, MD.
A memorial service to celebrate Fred's life will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2011, at the Milton Methodist Church, Church Street, Milton, NY at 11am.
Arrangements by Sutton Funeral Home, One Woodside Place, Highland, NY.

Dear Mrs. Lyons, Karen and family of Fred Woolsey,
It has many years since I have been in touch with your family. I received word of Fred's passing from my sister, Margie Monte McManus.
While I was a student at Marlboro High School I was friendly with Karen and spent many days at your home in Milton. Often Karen and I would study for regents exams together. During these times, I also enjoyed visiting with Fred, both in school and at your home. I remember Fred always with a large, beautiful smile and pleasant word. He was always chipper and friendly. I can still picture him as he was then.
He accomplished much in life and was a very good person.
He will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.
Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing and congratulations for a life well lived.
Sincerely,
Constance (Connie) Catalinotto
