Linda Woolley Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Our wild, sassy, and beautiful mother, Linda Woolley, passed away on February 1st. Our mom went into cardiac arrest on Tuesday (1/29) morning due to complications related to extremely high potassium levels. She was able to be resuscitated at the hospital, was placed on life support, and our entire family gathered and waited for days for her to wake up until we got the news that she would not be waking up.
Simply said - we are heartbroken.
This was completely unexpected. I (Heidi) was actually planning on donating a kidney to my mom this spring, and she was in the process of completing all of the necessary tests and procedures so that she would get the all clear to move forward with the transplant - she had a stress test scheduled for February 9th.
Our mom had both of her kidneys removed in May of 2018 at the recommendation of the second urologist we consulted. She had to attend dialysis three times a week because her body was no longer able to produce urine. She's had countless complications that followed that horrific event - all made more aggravating because she was told after she no longer had her Kidneys that she never had kidney cancer. Her story was featured on the news in November 2018 https://kdvr.com/2018/11/15/univ-of-colorado-hospital-accused-of-removing-womans-2-healthy-kidneys/
We so appreciate any donations during a difficult time as we navigate this tragedy and move forward in life without her. Donations will go directly to her daughters (Jodi, Sundae , and Heidi) to help with end of life celebration costs and future/past expenses.
