Darrell Woody's Obituary
Darrell Thomas Woody was born in Wright County near Hartville, Missouri, on August 26, 1932 and departed this life on December 23, 2010 in Rocky Ridge Manor, Mansfield, Missouri, at the age of seventy-eight years, three months and twenty-seven days. He spent his entire life in Wright and Douglas counties except for a few years when he and his mother lived in Idaho when he was a young child. Darrell was preceded in death by his mother, Bessie Hanna, in December of 2007; two uncles, Raymond Woody and Otis Woody. He is survived by several cousins. Darrell had been in poor health since his teenage years and his mother had taken care of him until her passing. Then his cousin, Bob Woody brought Darrell into his home and took care of him with the help of his aunt, Geneva Woody, until about one month ago when Darrell entered Rocky Ridge Manor where he passed away. In his younger years, Darrell liked to hunt and fish with his family. Darrell was a special person who never really got to experience life as most people do because of his limitations, but our memories and love for him will live on forever.
