Roger Woodford

Mr. Roger Woodford of Hazel Green went to be with the Lord on Saturday.   He was 76.   Mr. Woodford had served in the United States Army and had been employed in the insurance industry.

Roger was simple-hearted, honest and selfless. He didn’t need much and never asked for anything. He only wanted to help others. Everyone knew they could call him and he would do anything for them. Not only would he help, he would make sure to crack a few jokes to make you smile. He loved everything from classic cars, beautiful beaches, a cold Coors Light and Hokies football. Most important to him and what he loved most were his friends and family including, and most importantly, his wife Shirley.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ira & Laura Roop Woodford.

Surviving family members include his wife, Shirley Patrick;  His son and daughter-in-law, Ryan & Katie Woodford;  His step-son and daughter-in-law, Steve & Pam McLendon; His step-son, Darren McLendon;  His step-son, Shane Patrick;  His step-daughter, Stephanie Scarborough; His granddaughter, Carson Woodford;  His grandson, Cameron Woodford;  His granddaughter, Emma Woodford;  His step-grandson, Liam Johnson;  His step-granddaughter Zoey Johnson.  His dear long-term friend, Hugh Roach, and his dear friend Jim Cieslak and his wife, Susan.

The family will have private services to celebrate Mr. Woodford's life.  Burial will follow and will be in Charity Cemetery.
