Thelma King Woodland
September 11, 1919 — July 5, 2015
Thelma King Woodland, 95, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2015, in Lewiston, Utah. She was born September 11, 1919 in North Logan, Utah; the eldest child of LaVere and Leora Wiser King.
Thelma was raised in Lewiston, Utah and married Reed Woodland July 20, 1938 in the Logan LDS Temple. It was in Richmond, Utah where they built their home and raised their family. Thelma devoted her life to family, church, and her siblings. She always enjoyed and loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Thelma’s thirst for knowledge was evident throughout her life. She graduated from North Cache High School, LDS Seminary in Richmond, Utah, and the LDS Institute of Religion in Logan, Utah. Thelma had a gift for organization and record keeping. She dedicated countless years to family history/genealogical research, and compiling and publishing a comprehensive history of her ancestry.
Always a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐day Saints, Thelma served in a variety of church callings, i.e. Ward Primary counselor and teacher; Stake Primary President and board member; President and teacher of the Ward YWMIA; Ward and Stake Genealogy Committee; counselor, teacher and handicraft leader in the Ward Relief Society; Missionary at the Cache Branch Family History Library in Logan; and a temple worker in the Logan LDS temple. Together with her husband, Reed, she served
missions in the San Antonio Texas Mission (1984‐85) and a Stake Service Mission at home.
Thelma found great joy in the community service she rendered. She was a president of Richmond Park School PTA, a 4H Girls Club Leader, Chair of the Richmond Voting District #1 and served as a delegate to the Republican County and State Conventions for several years. Among her interests were reading, compiling photo albums and scrap books, making quilts, & oil painting.
Thelma is survived by her son, Jerry (Judy) Woodland of Richmond, daughter Sharon (Craig) Poole of Chula Vista, CA, eight grandchildren, sixteen great‐grandchildren; sisters, Ramona Bingham, Joan (Bruce) Griffin, sister‐in‐law Venda King, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Reed, parents, and brothers Newel, Norman, & John King.
