Elnor Elaine Woody

She was born to Burkett and Flora Hamrick on 22 September 1926 in Bean Hill, Texas. Her mother passed away in 1938 when Elaine was only 11. She met her husband in San Diego, California and they were married in Yuma, Arizona on 20 January 1942. They were married for 70 years. They lived in San Diego for 50 years before moving to Belfalls, Texas for several years.

She and her husband traveled around the United States when they were younger. She also had treasured trips in her later years traveling to Hawaii, Alaska, Ireland, England, Scotland and Mexico with her children.

She was preceded in death by her parents Flora and Burkett Hamrick, her beloved husband Buster Woody, brothers Bill and James, and sister Maudie. She is survived by her son Lou Woody and wife, Kate of Lorton, VA; daughter Carol and husband, Jesse Gonzalez of Bonita, CA, daughter Robbie and husband Tom Fillingham of Temple, TX.

Elaine was a proud Grandmother to 10 Grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren, and 5 great-great grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews and extended family that she loved dearly.

She was a devout Christian and a member of the Church of Christ. We will miss her love, kindness, wit and joy for life. Her wit was razor sharp until the very end. Her love was unconditional and she will be desperately missed. She was one of a kind and to be loved by her was to be truly “blessed”. Revelations 2:10 "Be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life."
