Dorothy Mae (Gividen) Woodcock made her Eternal change of address on 
Saturday, March 18th from her home in Grants Pass, Ore. Dorothy was just 
seven weeks shy of celebrating her 94th birthday.

Visitation will be from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m., Friday, March 24, 2006 at 
Hull & Hull Funeral Directors. A graveside service will begin at 2:00 p.m. 
on Friday at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Grants Pass with Bishop Ken Pennington 
conducting. Hull & Hull Funeral Directors are in charge of arrangements.

She was born to Everett and Blanch Gividen on May 4, 1912 in Sperry, Okla. 
As a child, she moved with her family to Joplin, Mo. She and her sister 
Agnes (Lou) Waite moved to the Rogue Valley in 1928 where Dorothy met 
Ernest Woodcock from Foots Creek and they were married September 19, 1929. 
In 1931, their first child, Betty Ann (Jackson), was born at Graves Creek 
(Sam's Valley). Later they moved to the Illinois Valley where the family 
finally located on Deer Creek (Dryden/Selma). It was at this location that 
they were blessed with five more children; January 1933 - Edward Lewis, 
August 1935 - Nora Mae (Borge), August 1937 - Thelma (Frazier), May 1942 - 
Ernest William, August 1948 - Theodore Henry.

In 1966, Dorothy, Ernest and their youngest son, Ted moved to Grants Pass, 
Ore. where they proceeded to build the home that Dorothy resided in until 
her death. Dorothy always had an abundance of cherries, apples and vegetables 
to share, as she had a great love of gardening and canning. When anyone 
walked up to her doorstep, they could enjoy the sweet smell of her flower 
beds lavish with blooms and a great aroma of a fresh pie baking in the oven. 
Dorothy is most honorably known for her famous dinner rolls. Ernest worked 
hard to provide a living for his family and Dorothy worked equally hard at 
providing their family with wonderful, hand crafted quilts and great tasting 
meals from her garden.

She was a member of the Eagles Auxiliary and the Dryden Grange.

Preceding Dorothy in their Eternal change of address was her beloved husband, 
Ernest (September, 1990); two of their daughters, Nora Mae (July 1952), 
Betty Ann (March 1993); one son, Ernest William (August 1964); four sisters, 
Berdine (McClure), Delores (Dunkeson), Agnes (Mayberry), Viola (Hardie); 
two brothers, William and Harold McClure; and one grandson, Stacey Frazier.

Survivors include their two sons, Edward (Lou), Ted (Bonnie-Jean); their 
daughter, Thelma Frazier; granddaughters and grandson, Louise (Ted) LaFon, 
Beverly McLean, Marilyn (Tim) Igo, Kimberly (Russell) Jump, Nick Woodcock, 
Shiela (Lonnie) Pelletier, Sheryl (Robb) Pulver, William (Carrie) Woodcock;
