He was the youngest of 10 siblings. He was a member of the Willow Grove Baptist Church of Phoenix, AZ during his childhood, and a devout man of God his entire life. Oscar attended South Mountain High School where he played football until he graduated in 1975. He then moved to Las Vegas, NV where he met and married the love of his life, Faithlyn “Dee Dee” Arms. They were happy and in love for 44 years, and had two daughters from their union, Cynnamon and Jazmine. He was the youngest steward at the Stardust Hotel and Casino at the age of 19, in charge of 10 kitchens. This was due to the work ethic instilled in him from his father and mother. Oscar passed multiple state boards for licensure in electrical, plumbing, air conditioning and heavy diesel mechanics which allowed him to open his own business, Woodberry Refrigeration. He then went to work for Penske Truck Leasing where he served as a branch manager over the entire southwest region, which included Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, and California for more than 20 years. A man of few words, Oscar was known for his laughter, his smile, and his love for his family. Oscar leaves behind in mourning: his wife, Faithlyn “Dee Dee” Woodberry; four daughters, Phyllis Owens, Kimberly Shedrick, Cynnamon Woodberry, and Jazmine Woodberry; and 6 grandchildren. Also his five sisters, Shirley Cheatham and Dorothy McFadden of Phoenix, AZ; Mamie Blythe of New York, NY; Gloria Bourgeois of Las Vegas, NV; and Eula Woodberry of Houston, TX; as well as one brother, Reppy Woodberry of Phoenix, AZ. He also leaves to mourn Edmond and Lucille “Maxine” Cooper, his father and mother in-law of Las Vegas, NV, Carl and Cherise Cooper and Eric and Eileen Cooper of Los Angeles, CA. He also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, cousins, and friends. Rest in God’s Love Oscar! Until we meet again. Memorial services will be held at 2:00PM on Friday November 20, 2020 at Palm Cheyenne Mortuary, 7400 W. Cheyenne Ave, Las Vegas, NV. Arrangements were handled by King David Memorial Chapel.
