Judie was born October 1, 1943 to Austin Albert (Luke) and Mollie Sue Steed Luckenbach in Atlanta, Texas. She spent time as a toddler in Atlanta with the Steeds when her father was deployed overseas before settling in Rosenberg, Texas. Her family moved to Lake Jackson in 1950 where Luke was an engineer for Dow Chemical until his retirement. Judie graduated from Brazosport High School in 1962 and graduated University of Texas-Austin with a major in English and a minor in History in 1966. She married Thomas Earl Woolam and traveled to Germany where he was deployed before they settled in his hometown of O'Donnell, Texas. They had two children Kyle Thomas and Martha Christine Woolam. In 1982, Judie returned to her home in Lake Jackson with her son and daughter where she taught English at Brazoswood High School until her retirement in 2011. Judie's true passion was for her children, grandchildren and her many students throughout those years as an educator. She was a reader enjoying both classic literature and her favorite little "easy read" novels. After retirement, she was active in the choir at First Methodist Church Lake Jackson and TOPS. She was an avid sports fan following Longhorns, Aggies, and Houston sports teams. In recent years, she enjoyed notoriously long lunches with good friends. She was a witty, intelligent, self-less and caring friend, sister, mother and grandmother. Judie was preceded in death by her parents Austin Albert and Mollie Sue. She is survived by her brother John Alan Luckenbach of Lake Jackson; children Kyle Thomas Woolam of McKinney and Martha Christine Bennett of League City; daughter in law Bonnie Lea Jarvis Woolam; and five grandchildren Luke Benjamin Woolam, Drew Thomas Woolam, Samantha Marie Woolam, Peighton Grace Bennett and Pyper Faith Bennett. The family suggests memorials to the First Methodist Church Lake Jackson or to a favorite charity
