- Jean Florence Maw Woodman
ARLINGTON – Jean Florence Maw Woodman, 103, died peacefully at her home in West Arlington on Saturday, January 16, 2010. Born November 4, 1906, in Provo, Utah, daughter of Charles and Margaret Maw, she received her undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University and her master's from Stanford University, both in English. Having taught school briefly at an Indian reservation in Utah as a young woman, she moved to New York City and pursued various careers including acting, editorial work for a publication of the American Foundation for the Blind and later Sports Illustrated, also working with Thomas Wolfe.
On August 15, 1936, Jean married Herbert B. "Woody" Woodman; he predeceased her in 1991.
In 1940, Jean's novel, "Glory Spent," was published. In 1943, Jean and Woody bought an old farmhouse on River Road and began renovating and improving it, traveling to Vermont from New York City some weekends and large portions of the summers. In 1983, they retired and moved permanently to Arlington.
Jean was a keen and wide-ranging reader, an expert gardener, a lover of classical music and maintained a wide circle of friends. She avidly followed politics and was a supporter of environmental issues.
Survivors include her daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and John Stopford of London, England; grandsons and their wives, Robert "Robin" and Astrid Stopford, and Nicholas and Zoë Stopford, all of London; four great-grandchildren, Oliver, Lucy, Sam and Penelope, all of London; as well as numerous nephews and nieces.
