Mary Wootton Obituary (1951

Our beautiful, talented and brave warrior Mary Rose Meno Hunsaker Wootton left our earthly presence and ascended into heaven the morning of December 12, 2018 after a long and valiant battle with Ovarian Cancer. She was born on August 30, 1951 to Zola McKay Meno Bussell and J.C. Bussell in Tooele, Utah. She worked 25 years at Teddy Bear’s and the Skyline Restaurant, 10 years at the Way Station where mom made many, many friends. She was a gifted seamstress making quilts, blankets and embroidery for so many of us, if you received one these from mom then you knew you were loved! She made her life in Grantsville where she kept a beautiful home, was the best cook and had wonderful holiday parties. In 2002, she married George Wootton and became a biker MAMA! They traveled all over the western United States and into Canada. They enjoyed their many travels and she fell in love with the Oregon Coast. Her love of the coast turned into an annual “Sisters Trip” with Carol and Annie for the last 11 years. Mom leaves behind her husband George Wootton; her children, Carolann Riddle Volberg (Mike), Dalene Hunsaker Bishop, Scott Riddle (Kauna), Brandi Hunsaker Tinnin (Toby), Georjia Wootton Hockenberry (Danny), Razzie Wootton Storms (Harvey), and many others who have called her mom over the years. Father J.C. Bussell; siblings, Carol (Paul) Hanson, Annie (Gary) Brown, Kevin (Marlo) Meno, Keith (Kim) Bussell. She also leaves behind 29 grandkids, 32 great grandkids, and 2 great-great grandkids who all thought they were her favorite. She will be laid to rest with her special companion and favorite “other child” Rosie, her little 15 year old Shih Tzu. Preceded in death by her mother Zola; her husband Dale Kent Hunsaker; and her beloved son Steven Derek Riddle (Stevie). Mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in December 2015 and wanted to make sure women were made aware of this deadly disease even if it means just saving one life. Mom wanted to thank all who came to visit in her final days and wants you to know she loves you all. She wants to thank the Utah Cancer Specialist, IMC and Harmony Hospice for their kindness and compassion.
