Our beloved wife, mother grandmother, sister and friend to all, passed away Tuesday, October 6, 1998 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was 71 years young.
Gepkie was born on September 14, 1927 in Lyman, Utah to Jessie Eugene Taylor and Gepkie Elizabeth White. After the death of her mother due to complications of child birth, she was lovingly cared for and raised by her mother's sister Annie and Benjamin Turner. She was always grateful for the love she received as a member of their family. She was sealed for time and eternity to the love of her life, Jack Keith Woolsey on November 22, 1944 in the Salt Lake Temple.She showed Christ-like love to her family and friends, and was grateful for life itself. Gepkie's beautiful smile was "a ray of sunshine". Among the many pleasures of life that brought her joy and happiness was the time she spent traveling with her devoted husband, Keith, to many beautiful and exciting places throughout the world. Just to be with her family brought her the greatest joy. She enjoyed watching her grandchildren grow and since her retirement from Litton Guidance Systems, she has lovingly cared for her great-grandchildren daily. She always appreciated the friendship of their Family Home Evening group. She was a member of the Daughter's of Utah Pioneers.
