McClintic, Margaret MERRILL - Margaret McClintic, age 87, passed away on Monday, Jan. 12, 2009. She was born on July 11, 1921, in Flint, Mich., the daughter of Ila and Clyde Cole. Margaret graduated from Michigan State University in 1944. She married her college sweetheart, John B. Woodward, DVM. Margaret and John lived in Merrill, where together, they raised their five children and had a veterinary practice. After Dr. Woodward passed away in 1969, Margaret married Orlin Folkedahl in 1973. Margaret and Orlin farmed for several years in Medford, after which they traveled the country extensively in their motorhome. They later moved to Madison. Orlin passed away in 1993. Margaret made a journey to visit her son in northern California in 1994, where she met Glenn McClintic. Glenn followed her to Wisconsin where they married and shared 13 years together. Glenn passed away in March 2008. Margaret will be remembered for her very deep belief in God and the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs. She lived her life with dignity as she cared for her ill husbands.

To Margaret's family:
Margaret was a sweetheart, a wonderful friend and a co-worker at the Dept. of Ag.
We had many nice visits on the phone and shared cards. We will miss her very much but we know she was very ill. We thought a lot of Glenn and she talked about her family and I felt I know most of you even though we have not met face to face. Thanks to Barb and Nancy for keeping me informed of Mom's health. We wanted you to know how much we care and send our sympathy. To Nancy we send our sympathy for her loss of John and Mom.
