'Renaissance Woman' Alice Bartlett Woolf Dies.(The West)(Obituary)
Byline: Paul Logan Journal Staff Writer
Storyteller Full Of Energy, Love
Alice Bartlett Woolf, "a Renaissance woman" and a pioneer, was almost larger than life, according to a friend.
An award-winning teacher, Woolf also was known for her girls' camp and as a storyteller, mentor, rancher, pianist, composer of children's songs, artist, newspaper columnist, volunteer and mother of four. Woolf, 80, died June 3 of a heart attack and was buried June 7 at her Circle A Ranch near Cuba.
Woolf motivated many with her zest for life, longtime friend Sukey Wallwork said Wednesday. Woolf taught Wallwork at Manzano Day School in Albuquerque and inspired her to become a teacher, she said. Wallwork attended the girls' camp and later worked at the ranch's hostel.
"People would go to the ranch just to stay and would be so impressed by her," said Wallwork, of Carnuel. "She was a person you just don't forget."
Woolf was 15 when she enrolled at the University of Utah, earning degrees in elementary teaching and high school teaching by age 19.
