Iva Lucile Booze was born May 18, 1917 to Margaret Sophia (Maggie) Helmick and Earl Edwin Booze in the McWillie, Oklahoma area. After the loss of her mother in childbirth at age four, she spent much of her younger years with an aunt, Clara Minick and Booze uncles in McWillie. Iva started school in McWillie and later attended Rich Valley, then graduated from Aline High School. She worked for various families in the area as a housekeeper and nanny during her high school years and soon after graduation. She often talked about a girl's trip to Little Rock, Arkansas and San Antonio, Texas with Audrey May Irwin and May Vighnon Goodno after graduation.
On April 12, 1941 she was united in marriage to Alvin Dean Woods at Cherokee. To this union two children were born: Ray Dean and Larry Gene. They made their home on Aline area farms until Alvin's death in July 1995. They celebrated 50 years of marriage before Alvin's death. They had many cherished friends and neighbors in the area. Iva then lived in Aline until moving to Dallas, Texas in September 2005 to be close to her son's family. Iva always cherished her close family and friends in the Aline area. The many phone conversations while in Dallas clearly showed her heart remained in Aline. She also made many friends in the Town Village North senior living facility in Dallas.
Iva was a member of the Aline First Christian Church and Eastern Star. She was presented a 50 year pin as a member of Eastern Star.
