Thomas Larry Woodie

Larry Woodie, age 82, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at Hickory Falls Health and Rehab surrounded by his family. He was born in Caldwell County on February 6, 1943, to the late Kermit and Dare Woodie. He was married to Carolyn Greene Woodie, of the home, for 57 years.

Larry was a veteran of the United States Army, serving in Germany. To say that Larry was an avid sports fan, he was putting it mildly. He coached, referred to games, and attended countless games watching his sons. Larry was a dedicated, hard worker, and did so well into his 70’s. He will be remembered for his love of his Lord, family and serving in his church, Mountain Grove.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Garry Woodie.

Other than his wife, Larry is survived by his sons, Michael Woodie; Stacy Woodie; grandson, Cole Leary; sisters, Pearl W. Setzer; Betty W. Shew and husband Hubert; brothers, Ed Woodie and wife, Shirley of Ozark, AL; Jerry Woodie and wife, Pat; Dennis Woodie and wife, Lisa; and numerous nieces, nephews and other family members.

A celebration of Larry’s life will be held at Mountain Grove Church on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Burial will immediately follow the service in the church cemetery. Military honors will be provided by United States Army and Caldwell County Veterans’ Honor Guard.

The family will receive friends from 2:00 until 3:00 prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Mountain Grove Church, 2485 Connelly Springs Road, Granite Falls, NC 28630 or Amorem, 902 Kirkwood Street, Lenoir, NC 28645.
