Forrest was born January 25, 1921, to Alice Pugh Wollard and Reed C. Wollard in rural Hardin, Missouri. He attended Richmond, Missouri, schools until he entered Central High School at Rockingham, Missouri. Forrest was on the basketball team at Central and graduated in 1939. He met and married Dorothea Marie Cramer (1926-2015) on February 13, 1942, during World War II. Forrest spent 39 months in the 2nd Army Air Corps. After the service, he became a supervisor of grocery stores for Consumers Cooperative Association, now Farmland Industries. He worked for CCA and later for United Cooperatives in Liberty, Missouri. He retired in 1977. Forrest was an active member of the Richmond United Methodist Church and served on the boards for the Northland Credit Union, Famers Home Insurance, New Hope Cemetery, HUD Housing and the United Methodist Church in Richmond. Forrest was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Dorothea Marie Wollard; his parents; his five brothers: Sam, Fowler, Vaughn, Ward Reed and Eugene A. Wollard, all of Richmond, Missouri.
