Mrs Woodruff was a faithful mall walker before her health began to fail . We will forever cherish the good times we had with her sitting around with the group talking after our walks.

Maria Robb/ Jackson Mall Walker Club

Mrs. Woodruff was truly a wonderful person who touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She was such a sweet/ kind hearted person who always greeted you with a warmth smile. She generously gave from the heart. She will be deeply missed.

May God comfort you in the coming days as only He can. Sister Woodruff was caring and so thoughtful. I have multiple lap scarfs from her because she knew I loved them.She sat behind me in church and had on a beautiful red bracelet I turned around and said I want that, she immediately pulled it off and tried to give it to me I told her I was just playing and wouldn't take it, she stood up leaned forward and dropped it in my lap. I will always cherish it and not to mention the jumbo peppermint sticks each Christmas and finally she was playful pulling my hair many times before I started wearing an afro. She will be missed!

Mary H Simpson

Our sincere condolences to the Woodruff Family. So many childhood memories walking on the hill to the Woodruff store. Rest peacefully in your eternal reward.

Lockett Family

Mrs. Louise Woodruff is someone I have known since I can remember. She knew me before I knew myself. She was a close family friend that my mother, Mary Land has known for more than 60 years. They knew each other's husbands, children and grand children. Attended the same church. Called each other almost every day to every other day. Auntie Woodruff is what I called her, because she was one of the most endearing friends of the family for a multitude of years. How many fish fry events, Sisterhood Club functions have I seen over the years between her, my mother and maybe some 30 plus other members of friends and church members. Auntie Woodruff was a great cook, love to garden and shop. She loved her family, her church and JSU football and band. She has an amazing heart and if you managed to gain a piece of her heart, she showed her affection genuinely 💖. Forever missed!

Sharon Elizabeth Land

Mrs. Woodruff will be missed by my family. I know she will be welcomed into heaven for her good works down here on earth. Prayers and blessings to the Woodruff family, The Wheelers.
