Vena Gaylene Woodring Obituary (1936 - 2007)

Vena Gaylene Woodring MARRIOTT/SLATERVILLE - Gaylene Stanger Woodring (Mother, Grandmother and Teacher) reluctantly left those she loved so dearly to join her loved ones who had preceded her to the next life. She departed on January 28, 2007 after battling an extended illness for many years surpassing all expectations. Her legacy of love, determination and selflessness will continue to be an inspiration to those who knew her. She was preceded on her journey by her parents, Lloyd and Edna Stanger; her husband, Walter H. Woodring and her twin sons, Drew and Devon Woodring. First and foremost she was a teacher (life, education and religion). She taught for many years at Lynn and Horace Mann. She was a Den Mother for many years and was proud of her five boys who all achieved the rank of Eagle. She was also proud of her two daughters who continue her teaching legacy. As a mother, grandmother, friend and teacher she put others first. She always saw the positive and believed in others. She was beloved by her grandchildren and had the ability to put smiles on all their faces as they did hers. She loved books, traveling, genealogy, learning and doing for others. She loved the LDS church and was so proud of her pioneer heritage. Two of her favorite trips were to Wales to see where her ancestors came from and a road trip on the Alaska Highway. As a family, we would like to thank all who have shown kindness and love for our mother and grandmother. We especially would like to thank Dr. Friden and Becky. Dr. Friden's dedication, love and help have been priceless over the years, especially her last few days. Left behind to miss her are her brothers, Delton (Velma) and David (Vicki) Stanger; her children, Brad (Mary), Bart, Blake (Venna), Angie, Kim, Kris (Jill) and Andrea; seven grandchildren, Kayla, Nicole (Nikki), Nathaniel, Julia, Krissa, Jason and Jenna.
