My mother was the brightest light. She was the loudes5 voice in any room. You instantly knew when Mickie was there. She was a boisterous woman, full of laughter and love. She loved us all so much. She lived a life in service to others, to her family and friends. She adored her kids and grandkids and loved being a great-grandma. She was a woman who leaned on her faith to get her through tough times. She was so very strong. She was my world in so many ways. I miss her every day.
I have left some things from her obit below.
She was born Margaret L. Clemen on September 12, 1943, in Day County, the daughter of Leo P. and Bertha E. (Boldes) Clemen. She was raised in Bristol graduating from Bristol High School in 1961.
On August 9, 1963 she was united in marriage to LeRoy Woods in the St. Otto Catholic Church at Webster. She and LeRoy made Garden City their home where she assisted her husband with his repair business, LeRoy's Repair. Other places of employment were working on the potato harvesters for area farmers, Roetell Assisted Living Center in Clark, a daycare owner-operator, and second to none though was being a #1 Mom and homemaker. She loved to cook, anything – especially for the grandchildren and in-laws!
Mickie thoroughly enjoyed participating in multiple Bristol All-School Reunions and in recent years she called Hy-Vee "The happiest place on earth"- she loved shopping and talking to people, catching up on the news! Most of all though, spending time with her children, grandchildren, and the great-grandsons – since their arrival, many others had to take the back seat.
She made her theater debut in the Watertown Town Players Community Theater. While living in Garden City, she had served as the Mayor and also was Co-Chair of the Garden City Centennial.
