| WHEREAS, The daughter of Eben and Ollie McClure, the former | ||

| June 23, 1951, she was united in matrimony with Mitchell Woods at | ||
| a ceremony conducted in Texarkana, Arkansas; they settled in | ||
| Rondo, and they were blessed with four children, Mitchell, Lorna, | ||
| Tonya, and Thomas; and | ||

| and she and her husband also owned commercial greenhouses and | ||

| playing the organ and piano, painting, sewing, and crocheting; | ||
| warm and kind, she was always the first to offer help when someone | ||
| she knew was in need; she had both a strong work ethic and a great | ||
| sense of fun, and her wonderful sense of humor brightened the | ||
| days of those around her; and | ||
