Woodrow W. Folsom, Jr. 78, of Highlands went peacefully to be with The Lord on Friday, March 7, 2014 with his family present.
Woodie was born September 1, 1935 to Woodrow Folsom, Sr. and Flora Bell Cobb. In August 1953 he married his wife Bettie and in 2013 they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
He is preceded in death by his parents and grandson John Keith Folsom, Jr.
He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Bettie Jane Folsom; sons: sons Kenneth Folsom and wife Shannon and Keith Folsom and wife Doris; grandchildren Krystal and Byron McBride, Brett Folsom, Kayla Folsom and her fiancé Jordan May; great grandchildren Tristan and Coby Hinshaw, Ryland, Madelynne and Morgan McBride, Natasha and James Jacks; sisters: Joy Smith and Dorothy Williams; brothers: Jimmy Folsom and Jerry Folsom, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Woodie was a man of The Lord and loved to preach the gospel any chance he got and to anyone who would listen. He was a mechanic and a carpenter for his entire life. He could fix anything out of nothing and would never ask or expect a thing in return along with being a Millwright by trade. If anyone ever asked for a small repair or something to be made, Pappy was the first word that came to mind.
A visitation with the family will be on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM in the Chapel of Sterling Funeral Home, 602 N. Main St., where funeral services will be at 1:00 PM, with Pastor Charles Foshee officiating.
Interment will follow in Magnolia Park Cemetery
