Margaret Eleanor "Scottie" Wooley

Margaret Eleanor “Scottie” Wooley passed away peacefully on July 29, 2025, at the age of 78, and in her beloved Ocala Forest home after complications with Lewy Body Dementia. She was born on January 5, 1947 at 13 Crossburn Street in Glasgow, Scotland, the daughter of Donald and Agnes Logan. Eleanor graduated from Glasgow Cranhill Secondary School in 1963, and after a period of employment she began bearing and raising the first of four children that she unfailingly supported the rest of her life: daughter Donna Dudley (Steve), son Stephen Mochan (Lisa), daughters Lisa Giovino (Albert) and Leeanne McElligott (Michael). After immigrating to the United States, she never gave up her Scottish heritage and spent years working and “ruling” the Rose & Crown Pub in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as the Manager/Server. The many friends she made continued beloved and respectful contact through the years. A subsequent primary job as a supervisor on the Motorola cell phone production line allowed her to continue family support, often requiring 18-20 hours per day with both jobs. She is survived by her husband, Richard E. Wooley, who she blessed with a marriage union in 2005 and began many North America travel and camping adventures. Other than travel, among her favorite things were music and singing (she could remember and sing along with almost any popular song imaginable, or any genre). Gardening and cooking for family were highlights of her other talents. The center of Scottie’s world was her family. Her siblings include her predeceased brothers: Donald and Alistair, both of Glasgow. Her surviving sisters: Anne of Norfolk, Virginia, Ivy Kostusiask (Mike) of Suffolk, Virginia and Leonora Flynn of Virginia Beach. However, her greatest lifelong passion was loving and caring for her children. Her grandchildren: Angela Mochan (predeceased) and surviving: Steven Dudley Jr., Elisabeth Mochan, Logan Giovino, Emily Mochan and Keegan McElligott. Her great-grandchildren are: Hailey Moise, Tristan Moise, Samya Moise, and Kameron Moise. Her favorite and displayed sentiment was “The most precious jewels you’ll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children.” A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Friday, August 15, 2025 @ 6:30pm, at Roberts of Ocala, Downtown Chapel, 606 SW 2nd Avenue, Ocala, Florida 34471. The family will receive family and friends one hour prior to the service from 5:30pm – 6:30pm.
