Gladys Virginia Jordan Woolf was born on October 16, 1924 at Milo, Idaho to Melvin Robert & Florence Moore Jordan. She was the third child of her parents, but the first daughter born to them. She had 6 siblings; Melvin Max, Glenn Reed, Vonda Fern, Anna Marie, Shirley Janiel, and Dallas Pauline. She passed away on December 3, 2007 in Provo, Utah.
She attended Elementary school at a small country school in Milo, Idaho where her father was one of her teachers. She attended and graduated from Ucon High School, Ucon, Idaho in the Spring of 1942. It was there that she met her High School sweetheart, who would later become her lifelong friend and husband.
On Christmas day of 1942, she became engaged to Reid Sanders Woolf, and they were subsequently married on June 23, 1943 in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their union was blessed with 3 children; Nancy Ann, twin sons, Donald Jay and Ronald Kay.
She was an active member of the Church for her entire life. She served in many callings over the years, many of which involved teaching the gospel to primary children and youth.
Most of their early years together were spent in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She obtained employment in 1953 with the Atomic Energy Division of the Phillips Petroleum Company. Her income made it possible for them to purchase a home in Idaho Falls for their family. In the Spring of 1964, the family moved to Anaheim, California. She worked for many years as a legal secretary for the Beckman Instrument Corp., and also the Unocal Company. After retirement, they moved to Provo, Utah to be close to their daughter and her family.
Both she and her beloved husband suffered strokes on the same day in January of 2003. (They did everything together!) Her husband, Reid, preceded her in death from complications of that stroke on September 22, 2004. She had missed him so much for the remainder of her life, and spoke of him daily.
She was preceded in death by her parents, all of her siblings (with the exception of her sister Dallas), her husband Reid of 64 years, and her youngest son Ron, who died just 25 days before.
She is survived by her sister, Dallas Hatch, of Salt Lake City, daughter, Nancy Hilmo, of Provo, son Donald, of Riverside, California, 16 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren.
Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, December 8, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Riverside Ward, 3500 North 180 East, Provo, Utah. Friends may call from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the chapel.
Interment will be in the Orem City Cemetery.
