Billy Ray Wooten, of Plant City, died Aug. 22, 2014, with the Bible in his hands and his caring Health Center of Plant City family by his side.
Mr. Wooten was born in 1948, in Tampa. He came to the Health Center of Plant City around the time it opened in 1985.
He was beloved by his caregiving family. Nursing assistants insisted on remaining on his assignment, even when he moved to another nursing unit. He will be remembered for his good-natured teasing of his favorite caregivers. He was grateful for the love and attention they provided.
Mr. Wooten was an active member of the center’s community. He was most fond of and grateful for the many church services generously provided to our center by several area churches.
He is predeceased by his father, John Wooten; mother, Gladys Heaton; and brother Paul Heaton.
