Lola was born on March 25, 1917 in the Vines Chapel Community between Zwolle and Many, LA to Mr. and Mrs. John W. Maxey who have preceded her in death. She passed away in Shreveport on August 27, 2010. Also preceding her are her daughter, Dorothy Lafitte of Shreveport, LA; her sister, Gladys Coldwell of Port Arthur, TX; her late husband, Elmer H. Woodle and sister, Laura Woodle of Many, LA. Lola attended and graduated Aliance School. She grew up and lived around Many and Zwolle before she moved to Shreveport. After she was married to her late husband, Elmer, she lived in Shreveport ever since. Lola was a devoted, gracious, loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was retired from the W.F. Woolworth Co. in Shreveport. She organized the reunions of the retired Woolworth's employees and brought together old friends and co-workers for fond memories and fellowship. Lola loved to quilt, crochet, cook, tend her flowers and "run the roads" especially visit the Smokey Mountains and her family and friends out of town. She was a long time member of the Mansfield Road Baptist Church, which she attended "every time the door was open" as long as she was able. Her favorite expression was "I sure do love this church and I'll be here till I die", and she was. Without saying it she was a true Christian lady and loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all her heart and soul. Her passing has left a void in the lives of us who knew and loved her, but those of us who know the Lord Jesus are confident that one day, we'll all be reunited again in a place where death, disease and sin no longer exist. Only Love. "O Death where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? (1 Cor. 15:55. Left to cherish her memory are her husband, James L "Jim" Walker of Shreveport; one son, Johnny W. Woodle and wife, Wanda of Keatchie, LA; one sister, Oleta M. Thornton of Shreveport; 5 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and friends. Pallbearers will be Huey Wyatt, Bud Lowery, Bill Cox, Joe Paul Maxey, Shelton Havard, Mark Gribon, and Lance Gribon. To some, the caring of someone with Alzheimer's Disease might be a burden, but to her husband, it became an honor and privilege to minister to and serve someone he cared so deeply for. "In sickness and in health so long as we both shall live". Sincere thanks go to the caring staff of AGAPE Hospice, especially Elaine, Lisa, Skip, Donna and Vita, thank you dear friends. To special friends, Peggy and Thomas Baldwin, Dee and everyone who visited and brought food, your love and support throughout this time, we give eternal thanks and God bless you.
