Greenwood, Eula Pauline (Polly)
Beloved Eula Pauline (Polly) Greenwood died peacefully of natural causes on July, 6, 2009, in Sun City, Arizona. Born in Russellville, Arkansas on March 14, 1918, into the David Rufus Wood and Lottie Jean Berry family of ten siblings, she was the second child. The Wood family lived in Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona as David Rufus Wood worked for a railroad company, sold Watkins home products, farmed and owned grocery stores. In 1936, Polly started to California and stopped in Peoria, Arizona, to work. In 1938, she married John Undiano, an Arizona farm labor contractor, and had her only child, John L. Undiano in 1939. The family lived in Tolleson, Arizona. During World War II, Polly worked at the Goodyear Naval Facility hand sewing blimp airships.

They purchased an 80 acre farm in Liberty, Arizona, and Polly loved the country life. Young Polly was a beautiful woman with auburn/black hair and she attracted attention wherever she went. She had exceptional daily life wisdom sharpened by difficulties and travel during her childhood.
