The Woodrow Williams Family

Both of my parents were from Ogden, Utah. All four of us children were born there too. My dad, Woody, bought a farm in Rupert, Idaho and thats where we were all raised. He cleared the farm of rocks and sagebrush and then planted potatoes, grain, and hay. We had a few cows and chickens and always a huge garden. I sure do miss the tomatoes, corn and new potatoes!


Dad was always the best farmer and his crops were the first ones planted in the whole area and the first one harvested. He taught us a wonderful work ethic. Dad has a great sense of humor and is always laughing. He and Mom, Claire, worked on Temple Square as missionaries in the visitor's center. Dad always had the most golden contacts because he was such a good ol' farmer and everyone loved that he was so unpretentious.


Mom was a secretary for the Bureau of Reclaimation and she kept us afloat in lean times. She was a wonderful mother and I miss her dearly. She taught me that I could do anything. I often wish I had been a better daughter to her. I was a tad rebellious and often acted embarrased to be around her. I was a rotten teenager. I am so blessed that my girls would walk down the Mall with me arm in arm and never acted embarassed.
