Personal life
Woolley grew up in Auburn, California as the only child of Lois and William Higman.[1] She studied architecture at University of California, Berkeley, and married James P. Woolley, an engineer, in 1956. They had two children before divorcing in 1958; Woolley's experience as a single mother led her to write her first two books, Creative Survival for Single Mothers (1974) and The Custody Handbook (1979).[1] She married Dr. Edwjard Garwin in 1978.[3]
Persia Woolley died October 3, 2017, in Sebastopol, CA, USA, at the age of eighty one.[4]
