Published in the Oklahoma Today magazine, Winter 1996 issue:
Woodrow 'Woody' C. Brady, 41, of OKC, son of Jeanne Redd, grandson of Janie Redd, and brother of Sarita and Johann Redd, all of OKC; self-employed publisher of children's books; died while at the credit union.
He made his living tailor-making biographies of other people's children. Parents would bring a story about their child, and from it Woody Brady would make a personal volume. "He loved it," said his mother, Jeanne Redd, of her son's work.
Graduated at the top of his class from Meeker High School in 1972, he was one of three students to receive Meeker's highest student honor (he also won FFA honors). He attended Seminole Junior College, where he earned an associate's degree in biology with an art minor and played varsity basketball. He later attended Oklahoma Christian College.
Golf was his favorite pastime (he also played chess, tennis, basketball, and baseball), and he hit the greens often enough to win several trophies over the years. "He would play golf in the snow," his mother says, laughing. "It didn't get too cold, it didn't get too hot." Her son was always exhorting her to "Learn how to play, Jeanne." And yes, he called his mother by her first name. In many ways, Jeanne says, they were more friends than anything else.
May 16, 1995, the Meeker Student Council, FFA, and Class of '72 planed a tree in Woody's memory in front of Meeker High School. Says Jeanne of her son's last moments, "I bet you two to one he was in that building talking to somebody."
