Randy L Wohlford

Our Great Uncle Randy (Mommy's Uncle, Papa's brother) passed away suddenly last week. We were so sad to hear the news. Here is a little bit about him:

Randy Lee Wohlford, 54, of Lena died Thursday, May 22, 2008, at St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford.

He was born May 5, 1954, in Freeport, the son of Delbert and Edith (Witt) Wohlford. Randy married Peggy Ann Moen on June 18, 1977, at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Freeport.
Randy was a carpenter for more than 25 years.

Mr. Wohlford was a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, hunting for morels, and he loved the outdoors.

Survivors include his wife, Peggy Wohlford of Lena; his mother, Edith Wohlford of Freeport; two sons, Joshua Wohlford, 2nd Lt. USAF, Randolf Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, and Justin Wohlford, Cadet 2nd Class, United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.; three brothers and one sister, David (Joyce) Wohlford of Surprise, Ariz., Sheila (Dan) Sadler of Elizabeth, Larry (Dave Goodwin) Wohlford of Goodyear, Ariz., and Edward Wohlford of Stillman Valley; two sisters-in-law, Mae (Delvin) Trost of Lena and Carol (John) Nielsen of Mount Horeb, Wis.; father- and mother-in-law, Charles and Della Moen of Freeport; also four nephews, seven nieces, nine grandnephews and two grandnieces.

He was preceded in death by his father.

Uncle Randy taught Mommy how to hunt for mushrooms when she was little. He also brought mushrooms for family gathering each year - yummy! Daddy really loved that! One good thing happened, and that is that they were able to donate his kidneys, liver, and corneas to other people who needed them. We pray for Uncle Randy's family as they are so sad and miss him so much.
