1926 - 2010
MaeVonne Woolsey Adams was reunited with her family in heaven on December 2, 2010, surrounded by her loved ones. MaeVonne was born in Tropic, Utah, to James Emil and Sarah "Verda"Ahlstrom Woolsey on May 1, 1926. They later moved to Provo, Utah, where she attended and graduated from Provo High School.
She found her first love, Wilford George Adams, and they were married January 22, 1945, in San Francisco, California while he was serving in the United States Navy during World War II. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in July of 1946. They were blessed with three children.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, MaeVonne served in many callings. She served as president of the Eagles Club. She also volunteered in the ICU of Utah Valley Regional Medical Center as a Pink Lady for ten years. She was a wonderful, loving grandmother to five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She never missed any performances or an opportunity to celebrate her grandchildren's accomplishments. She took great pride in what she loved.
She had a passion for music and dancing. She met her "sweetie" of eight years, Gerald M. Hanks. They traveled, camped, and loved to watch the Jazz games together. We will be forever grateful for the love and happiness that they shared, and the inspiration shown for one another.
MaeVonne is survived by Gerald M. Hanks, of Provo; brother, Donald James Woolsey (Florence), of Murray; daughters: Sydney Rose Irwin (Mack), of Texas, Tamara Lyn Prevost (Bud), of Orem; grandchildren: Shon Allen, of Draper, Corey (Keri), of Mapleton, Marniee Jolley, of Pleasant Grove, Shantale Ferguson, of Provo, and Shelby Reynolds (Larry), of Texas; and nine great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Verda Woolsey; son, Jeffrey Lane; her eternal companion, Wilford George Adams; a great-grandson, Dylan Jolley; and many numerous relatives.
Thank you for your strong examples and your caring ways, we love you! Though gone, never forgotten. Your memory will live on.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at the Berg Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the mortuary, Monday evening from 6:00-8:00 and Tuesday from 1:00-2:00 p.m. prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery.
