Wilbur F. Woodall

Wilbur F. Woodall, Jr., age 88, of Lenoir, NC passed away peacefully at his home

surrounded by family members and his caregiver. Born in Gatesville, NC, he was the son of the late Rev. Wilbur F. Woodall and Mary Susan Woodall.

Wilbur was a graduate of Rutherfordton/Spindale Central High School and Wake Forest College (University). He worked for the NC Department of Social Services in Smithfield, NC before finding his ideal job with the NC Department of Motor Vehicles working with and training school bus drivers in Caldwell, Burke, and Alexander counties. He served in the US Army Reserves (Staff Sergeant E-6), was a member of the Lenoir Civitan Club in his early years and held various positions in College Avenue Baptist Church including Sunday School teacher, Deacon, and General Secretary of the Sunday School.

Wilbur enjoyed many travel adventures around the world, but most important to him were his God, church, and family. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 64 years, Charlotte McLamb Woodall, and his two daughters: Sheila W. Taylor of Newnan, Georgia, and Sandra W. Pendleton (Andrew) of Rincon, Georgia; three grandchildren, Andrew and Callie Pendleton, Leah Taylor Beardsley; and two great-grandchildren, Knox and Adler Beardsley.
