Eulonda Dawn Alkim, formerly of Lawton, died Saturday, May 13, 2017 under the care of hospice in Rose Hill, KS. She was 101. She was born in Wells County, Indiana on April 11, 1916 to Glen J. and Sherlie (Gaiser) Maddox. When she was attending the University of Oklahoma, she met her first husband, William (Bill) Woolley. Her son, James (Jim) Woolley was born to this union. Eulonda was a 1941 Business graduate of UCLA.

After World War II, which resulted in the death of her first husband, she moved to Lawton and worked at the First National Bank and Fort Sill National Bank, where her second husband, CWO Alphonse (Al) Alkim was a customer. They were married in 1949.  Her life became that of a military wife, as she followed to Japan, Chicago, Fort Smith and back to Lawton. Her daughter, Darla (Alkim) Williams was born to this marriage. While living in Lawton, she received her MBA from the University of Oklahoma and became a Certified Public Accountant in 1974. As an accountant, she worked in Lawton and Ft. Sill. Eulonda was an instructor in Business at Cameron University for 10 years.

After she retired at the age of 80, she volunteered at SCORE and the Center for Creative Living. She was an avid reader, creative seamstress, and enjoyed knitting, crocheting and needlepoint. In assisted living at Via Christi Village, in Ponca City, she organized the library and led the exercise class in the absence of the instructor. Eulonda was preceded in death by her parents and husbands.

She will be dearly missed by her family, son, Jim (Narnie) Woolley of Andover, KS, daughter, Darla (Tom) Williams of Tulsa, OK; grandchildren, Bill (Tanya) Woolley, Dawn Woolley, Chad (Beth) Williams, Kate (Josh) Finch, Sarah Williams; great-grandchildren, Ryan and Evan (Stephanie) Hollingshead, Isabel and Ben Woolley, Emma and Becca Williams and Will Finch and many nieces and nephews.
