Cecilia was born May 15, 1931 in Randolph, Ohio, the daughter of the late Adam and Agnes (nee Margargee) Rothermel.
Survivors include her loving husband of 66 years Charles “Hank” Woodward of Kent, daughters Beverly (Kevin) Steiner of Randolph, Janet Woodward of Kent, Linda Barrett of Kent, daughter-in-law Marianne Woodward of Cuyahoga Falls, sister-in-law Cathy Rothermel of Rootstown, sister Alice Rothermel of Rootstown, 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
Other than her parents, Cecilia was preceded in death by her son Charles R Woodward, brother John Rothermel, sister Roseen Adolph and brother Larry Rothermel.
Cecilia enjoyed helping out on her parent’s farm, square dancing, bowling, sewing, coin collecting, watching birds, and being a homemaker and mom. She also enjoyed picking berries at Hilgert’s Berry Farm.
Cecilia taught First Grade CCD at St. Joe in Randolph, was a member of The Catholic Daughters of America and The Red Hat Club. She baked for the bake sale at St. Joe’s festival every year and would also make The Infant of Prague statues and give them out to family and friends.
The family had moved several times through the years due to Hank’s career at Wick’s Lumber but wherever they were, she always managed to make their dwelling a home and made many friends.
The family would like to acknowledge Janet and Linda for their wonderful care of their mom in this difficult time.
