My Grandpa Woodard

My Grandfather Walter "Woody" E. Woodard, 93, of Midland, MI went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, March 14, 2008, at Tendercare of Clare.

He was born on Feb. 26, 1915, in Elsie, the son of Ralph and Lydia Woodard. Woody attended Coyne Electrical School in Chicago, Ill. and had owned and operated Woodard Electric from 1954-1980. On March 26, 1937, he married Dorothy Marie Landon in Elsie. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church. Walter is survived by his children, Donald (Sharon) Woodard of Raleigh, N.C., Nancy Adamets, Walter C. Woodard, Marilyn (David) Dumont all of Midland; his grandchildren, Brian (Rachel) Woodard, Susan (John) Felmit, Heather (Mike) Salyer, Stephen (Erica) Woodard, Theresa (Cary) Zeschke, Rick Zimmer, Jodee Horoky, Robert (Angie) Woodard, Kymberly (Tony) Scalia, Adam Woodard, Mary (Tim) Donnelly, John (Cathy) Dumont and Laura (Jason) Suitor; 21 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; two brothers; and three sisters. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife Dorothy in 2004; his daughter Susan; grandsons Michael and William; great-grandson Ty; one brother; and three sisters.
