Ms. Woodward began her teaching career in Dubach and still remembered many of

year teaching career at Kiroli Elementary. After retirement, Ms. Woodward 
traveled the world with her friend, Claire White, a fellow teacher. She was a 
longtime member of the Eastern Star and a proud member of the professional 
teacher's sorority, Alpha Delta Kappa.

All of her life, Ms. Woodward, was a strong Christian who loved her church and
