Condolences for your loss. I’ll always remember “Pat”. She was so open to assisting me when I first came to work in Tennessee. She was always soft spoken and friendly. 
We went to a Jazz concert together. Had a great time.  
I’ll always remember you as part of the work GROUP!! 
REST in POWER FRIEND!

The South High School Class of 1970 has lost a beloved class member. Lelia Wooldridge (Pat) was an outstanding student whom many of us met in 7th grade at Lincoln Jr. High. She was a member of the National Honor Society, the Latin Club, the band, and participated in numerous other junior high and high school activities.

Before her illness, Lelia participated in most SSHS70 events. This includes the celebration of our turning 70. Lelia was one of the ‘younguns’ in our class as she wouldn't have turned 70 until the following year. When she was unable to attend, Lelia sent her support through financial contributions.

It is with profound sadness that we add the name of Lelia Mildred Patrice Baker Wooldridge to the roll of our classmates who have passed on. We extended our most sincere condolences to Lelia's daughter Andrea Wooldridge, her son-in-law, grandsons, her nephew Keith, and all her family and friends.

Lelia, we will continue to hold your memory close in our hearts.

South Side Class of 1970
