Felicia (Flis) Woolsey
Felicia (Flis) Woolsey, 59, of East Charleston died on March 7, 2011, in Newport.
She was born on July 11, 1951, in Manhattan, New York, a daughter of John and Mary Flis.
She received a bachelor’s degree in education from St. John’s University and a master’s degree in education from the University of Vermont.
Ms. Woolsey was an educator who will long be remembered in her community for her sense of humor, storytelling ability, and love of life. She was passionate about teaching her students life skills including how to write well, communicate ideas effectively, and enjoy good literature. Former students often visited her to express their gratitude for the ways that she touched their lives and the lessons she imbued.
Even as Ms. Woolsey faced serious health problems, her courage and sense of humor always shone through. Her insatiable curiosity transformed her medical issues into opportunities to learn and reflect on the complexities and beauty of life. Her storytelling ability always highlighted the humor she saw in even her most trying experiences. Above all, we will all miss the joy of being in her presence and the privilege of being a part of her narratives — as audience and actors.
She is survived by all those who loved her: her husband, Bill Woolsey; brother John Flis; nieces Tatiana Flis and Ariana Nester; mother-in-law Dolores Woolsey, sisters-in-law Phyllis Triarsi and Susan Sova; her beloved dog Harris; and many many more.
A celebration of her life will be held this spring (her favorite season).
In lieu of flowers, and as a tribute to Ms. Woolsey’s charitable nature, donations can be sent in her memory to the Humane Society by going to www.humanesociety.org and making a Kindred Spirit memorial gift, or make checks payable to the HSUS, and send to: The HSUS, 2100 L Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20037.
