Myles Wooten

Myles Edward Wooten, 75, passed away on Sunday, July 26, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born December 6, 1939 to Weldon and Ressie (Clark) Wooten in Cash, AR. He picked cotton as a young boy until his family moved to Azwell, WA due to his dad's job transfer with the railroad. The family was relocated to Pateros once construction of Wells Dam began. He graduated from Pateros High School in 1957 then enlisted in the U. S. Army. He was stationed in Montgomery, AL and that is where he met the love of his life, Jane Hutchison. Just six short weeks later they were married on December 9, 1959 at Buchanan, GA. Dad was to be stationed in Augsburg, Germany so off they went hand-in-hand. After his military service, they moved to Wenatchee to begin building their careers and family. Dad began working at Alcoa in 1965 in the pot rooms and worked his way up to manager of the pot rooms, retiring in 1995. During these years they welcomed three children, Myles "Glenn," Michelle, and Rene'. He was a very devoted and loving father and enjoyed spending time with each of us. Dad enjoyed fishing and hunting over the years and even got us to pose with dead critters from time-to-time. Mom and Dad bought a home near Mammoth Spring, AR several years ago and enjoyed spending half their time here and the other down there. The country boy was in 7th heaven on his tractor! Dad was, and will continue to be, the sunshine in many lives and will be missed more than he will ever know. Dad was preceded in death by the love of his life, Jane Wooten one sister, Janice Stidman and his parents. Survivors include three children, Glenn Wooten of Santa Monica, CA, Michelle (Wooten) and Jacob Tarrant of Colorado Springs, CO, and Rene' (Wooten) and David Rowton of Wenatchee; three grandchildren, Ashley Davies, Brittny Tarrant, and Cameron Tarrant; one great-grandchild, Eli Whitehall; one sibling, Joy (Wooten) and John Lawson of Oroville, WA; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and Juanita Wooten. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made in Myles' name to "Our House," 1708 Castlerock Ave., Wenatchee, WA 98801. Our House was built so people who come from out of town to have cancer treatments can have a place to stay and sleep, rest and/or eat. Visitation will be held on Monday, August 3rd, from 1pm-6pm and the Funeral Service on Tuesday, August 4th, at 10am at Telford's Chapel of the Valley in East Wenatchee with a Private Graveside Service to follow at Evergreen Memorial Park in East Wenatchee. Telford's Chapel of the Valley is in charge of arrangements.
