Sincere and heartfelt condolences to her kids, grandkids, great grands, extended family and all those who knew this sweet woman. Her heart was bigger than she. I loved seeing her and Ernie when they came to pick up Nicole, Lauren and Lily from my home. She was a driving force and a true matriarch of the Woods family. May God bless you and comfort you now and always.
