Obit Lynnette (Lyn) Mae Smiley WoodLynnette (Lyn) Mae Smiley Wood passed away very unexpectedly Friday, Dec. 20, 2019, at the age of 69, in Tooele, Utah.

She was born Dec. 30, 1949, at Marshalltown, Iowa, to Thomas Gerald Smiley and Marie VanVlair. She married Charles Dennis Wood on Nov. 7, 1969, in Sparks, Nevada.

Lyn worked many administrative positions in Reno, Salt Lake City, and Dugway Proving Ground, finally retiring in Dec. 2009 as the Executive Officer for the Commander, U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground. Always a dedicated employee, she gave her all to every employer she worked for always striving for and achieving excellence in everything she did.

She loved the outdoors and especially fly fishing with her husband in Yellowstone National Park. She was always in her glory when she could spend time with her children and grandchildren as well as the click from Dugway! She was the sweetest, kindest, and most loving person one could ever meet and never found a dog she didn’t totally fall in love with!

She is survived by her mother, Marie Smiley, Tooele; husband Dennis Wood, Tooele; sister Bernita Shipp, Des Moines, Iowa; children Chanel Marie Wood Carney of Salt Lake City, and Charles Gerald (Melissa) Wood of North Ogden; and six grandchildren: Jarren Kubat, Amber Kubat, Drake Carney, Devyn Wood, Aedan Wood, and Eden Wood. And we must not forget her loyal German Shepherd dog companion, Oaklee Anne! She was preceded in death by her father, Gerald Smiley.

At Lyn’s request, there will be a simple graveside service for all who would like to attend at the Tooele Cemetery at 1 p.m., Friday, Jan. 10, 2020, followed afterword by a celebration of life at her home in Tooele at approximately 2 p.m. Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.tatemortuary.com. Instead of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite pet or animal rescue organization.
