George Robert Woolley, 66, of Eatontown, passed away peacefully at home with his wife at his side after a two-year battle with cancer.

George grew up in the Wayside section of Ocean Township where the family had a farm on Poplar Road. He was an avid surf and ocean fisherman. He belonged to the Spring Lake Live Liners Fishing Club. He was a fly-tying hobbyist and enjoyed making ties for friends. In his youth, he enjoyed hunting accompanied by his beagles. George was very handy when it came to working around the house. From the basics of handy work to the more complicated jobs that only an experienced electrician knew how to do, he could do it all.

He is predeceased by his parents Marjorie (Thompson) Woolley and George Allen Woolley, and his brothers Edward Allen Woolley and John Allen Woolley.

Surviving is his loving wife Deborah (Broadt) Woolley of Eatontown; his sons Edward William of Island Heights and George Robert of Franklin, VA; his daughter Jennifer Turley of Roanoke, VA from his first marriage to Patricia Watson; his sister Hildred Woolley of Long Branch, and several grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
