Mrs. Woolford was a lifetime resident of Church Creek, Md. Mrs. Woolford attended the public schools in Dorchester County and later married Thomas Woolford on Dec. 27, 1955.

She enjoyed cooking, baking and entertaining. Mrs. Woolford was known as the "roll lady" by anyone who was fortunate enough to taste them unless you were tasting one of her sweet potato pies. Sewing was something she enjoyed as well as providing for her family. Along with her hobbies she loved to celebrated family, friends and life in ways that went far beyond the 4th of July celebrations, the family reunions and weddings held at her house. She was the matriarch of the family who brought smiles and love to everyone she met. She never said No; she'd say, "I'll see what I can do". Her favorite scripture was Jeremiah 17:8: "They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.
