Anna Mary Woodward

May 19, 1926 — June 11, 2023

Anna Mary Woodward, 97, passed away peacefully Sunday, June 11, 2023 at Windsor House of Champion. Ann, the third of six daughters, was born May 19, 1926 in Bloomfield, Washington County, Ohio to Bert P. Graham and Etta B. (Morris) Graham.

After growing up attending a tiny rural school, Ann moved with her family to Warren for her senior year, graduating from Warren G. Harding High School. Shortly after graduation she began working at the Warren Telephone Company (later United and Sprint). While attending Second Christian Church she met Harlan Ralph Woodward whom she married on June 17, 1951. They shared 56 years full of joy, being active in their church, raising their daughter, Cindy, traveling, and happily working outside tending to the flowers, trees, and gardens that covered their yard in Champion.

Ann became even more active after her retirement from the phone company, helping family, quilting at Second Christian and later at Champion Christian Church, and always planting more flowers. Even after Harlan’s death in 2008 she could always be seen planting and digging around the flowerbeds at their condo in Cortland.

Besides her husband, four sisters, Dorothy Hupp, Betty Holland, Marcelene Olsen, and Frances Bohyer preceded her in death.

A daughter, Cindy Woodward, of Cortland, a sister, Hazel Moldovan of Champion, and a host of beloved nieces and nephews survive to celebrate her life.
