WOLDRAM, JOYDELLE (GARRETT)


Surnames: WOLFRAM, GARRETT, MITHCELL, BASSET, BLYTHE, TIERNEY, NABORS, RUBINI, JOHNSON, KIRKPATRICK

Joydell Garrett, b July 4, 1926 at Stranger, Falls County, Texas-resides in Marlin, Falls county, Texas-was a daughter and sixth child of Sanford Quay and Agnes Estell (Mitchell) Garrett, and is the fourth generation of her father's family, and fifth generation of her mother's family, in the county. She is the widow of Bertram Wolfram, Jr., b February 22, 1922 in Galveston, Texas, died there November 12, 1952 and buried in Calvary Cemetery in Galveston-the only child of Bertram and Elizabeth (Basset) Wolfram, natives of Texas. Bert and Joydelle were married in Lubbock, Texas on July 4, 1950; and he was a 1943 graduate of Texas Technological University-and practiced his profession as a Geophysicist until a short time before his death.
Joydelle completed Stranger School, attended Marlin High School two years, and graduated from Lubbock Senior High School, Class of 1943. Departing Falls County in August 1942, she did not return to live until October 1977, and has made her in Marlin since that time. Her thirty-five years away from Falls County include two years of work for the Senior Vice President of Twentieth Century Fox, a year as one of the first "female detailmen" for Texas Pharmacal Company-showing an increase of over 200% during that year; and thirty-two years in association with various medical professions-including the position of Administrative Assistant to the Executive Dean and Director of The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, during which time she was in Hospital Control during the September 1961 Hurricane Carla, and also serving as the representative from the Medical Branch at the Dedicatory Ceremonies for the Torbett-Hutchings-Smith Memorial Hospital in Marlin. She was the world's first Medical Administrator of a Chronic Hemodialysis and Renal Transplant Program, working with the renowned and combined program of the Veterans Administration and UCLA in Los Angeles, California; and subsequently as the Administrator of a national committee on kidney disease-serving on an elite committee which wrote the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act which regulates the donation of organs for transplantation.
Mrs. Wolfram has been published in prestigious medical journals, including the International Journal of Chronic Diseases, the Transactions of Artificial Internal Organs Association, Texas Journal of Medicine, and others. She is also a published poet. She has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Heart Association's Texas Affiliate in Fort Worth, Texas, and was a member of their Speaker's Bureau. She has participated in writing various TV spot announcements for use in public service advertisements, funded by the Detroit Committee, and related to better understanding between races; and recruited Hollywood Stars (including Ann Blythe, Gene Tierney, and Jim Nabors) for recording special public service advertisements relating to endstage kidney disease and treatment. She participated in writing and producing a special curriculum for training patients and family members to carry out "artificial kidney" treatment.
Mrs. Wolfram, under the direction of Dr. Milton Rubini, participated in a study for the California Department of Public Health to determine the feasibility of state-supported artificial kidney programs in the State of California, and two such centers were established as a result of the feasibility study. This same report served as a National guideline for the White House Committee on Kidney Disease, established by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In the Fall of 1967, she was one of a two-member team selected to tour eight European countries for the Veterans Administration to study facilities, equipment, rehabilitation of patients, and methods of financing treatment for end-stage kidney patients; and she was awarded the Director's Commendation by the Veterans Administration for her contributions to the medical, administrative, and scientific programs of the Veterans Administration Center. Named Outstanding Citizen of Galveston County in 1963, in Tarrant County in 1972, and selected "Woman of the Year for 1985-1986" by the Beta Sigma Phi Chapter of Alpha Omicron Omicron in Marlin, Joydelle has been named to the International Who's Who In Poetry, in the National Register of Prominent Americans, and honored by the Dictionary of International Biographies. She is a past Vice President of Texas Press Women, and a member of National Federation of Press Women, and Poetry Society of Texas. She was nominated in 1970 for membership in International Platform Association and American Biographical Institute.
