Beloved husband of Linda Woodall (nee Brown) for 51 years; Loving father of Matthew (Gayle) Woodall, the late Santina Woodall and Danielle Woodall. Grandfather to Haley, Nolan, Carter, Emma, Ben, Kyla and Anna. Dear son of the late Charles and Helen (nee Wilson) Woodall.

Woody worked 46 years in the steel industry. First with Missouri Rolling Mill and then with US Steel. He loved riding his motorcycle, hunting, fishing, and sharing a laugh with anyone. More importantly, Woody loved his family.

We are very sorry for your loss, always remembering good times at work and lamb roast. You will be greatly missed.
Woody was a character. Quick with a laugh or a story to get the party rolling. He also had a somber side. The loss of his beautiful daughter was a burden he couldn’t bare. He’s with her now and sending his love and strength to Linda. Please pray for her and her family and remember what a wonderful family they were. Love you Woody. Rest happily. Charlie and Sue

Woody was a character, but above that, he was a great guy. I can’t believe someone that was so full of life has passed on. I miss working with him at the Steel mill. He made coming to work more fun.

Loved woody as much as anyone could love a brother that’s how I thought of my buddy, we had good times at work and at home, he will always have a special place in my heart. Resting in the arms of Jesus.

Matt,
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Linda and family-
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Cherish the memories.
My favorite memory of Woody was when he dressed up on Halloween and sat on the porch,waiting for the kids. It wasn’t until we took a piece that he came to life.
There are no words to express my sorrow for your family. Woody, you will be so missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you.
LInda, What a handsome guy he was! 52 years is a really long time to be with someone and I can only imagine how great the loss is that you are feeling. But, thank God for all the memories you made together and remember that you are surrounded by a loving family and friends. Lean on them at this time. ” Your loss is heavens gain. The angels understand your pain. And thanks be to God, Woody arrives without stain!” Your in my thoughts and prayers.
