2012 "Woodies in the Valley"
Along with her husband Doug, she was with several friends and fellow club members walking across a busy highway to a restaurant where they were to celebrate her and Doug’s wedding anniversary (44 years we believe). It was dark and a vehicle traveling at full highway speed hit her as the group was crossing the road. There are some sketchy details in the local Fresno newspaper: FRESNO BEE
Our deepest condolences go out to Doug, the couple's adult children, and their families. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
A beautiful graveside service on 3/16/12 was attended by some 200 friends & family. Our club was well represented. If anyone wishes to direct a message to the family via email, please send it to us at: info@valleywoodies.com and we will see that Doug gets it.
The following is the obituary printed in the Fresno Bee:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Woodies in the Valley (Chapter 6) is now in the history books, ending its 3-day run in Visalia, CA on Sunday, March 11, 2012. Although there will be more written about it on this website shortly, suffice it to say that it was an “awesome event.” A record 53 woodies showed up from all over the state, bringing some great fellowship with them in addition to their really cool (and highly diversified wooden cars.
Thank you to all who made the trek in spite of the $4.25/gallon gasoline!
There will be more photos to come as well, but here is a link to a photo sampling of a great weekend: 2012 PHOTOS.
