Jimmy Lee Woody, 76, of Bluefield, Virginia, passed away on November 15, 2024, surrounded by family and love. Born to Raleigh and Ruby Woody on March 24, 1948, Jimmy lived a life defined by self-reliance, unwavering devotion to his family, and quiet pride in his accomplishments.

On June 30, 1968, Jimmy married his soulmate, Bonnie Jean Woody. Together, they created a legacy of love, resilience, and faith. A devoted father to Michael and Keith Woody, Jimmy instilled enduring values of hard work, integrity, and humility.

A dedicated employee of Norfolk and Southern, Jimmy gave his all until his health no longer allowed. His faith was central to his life, as he was baptized and lived with a quiet, steadfast commitment to his family and beliefs.

As one of eight siblings, Jimmy deeply cherished the bond of family. He is survived by his brothers, Kenneth Woody and Freddie Woody, and his sister, Freda Woody Coomes. His love extended to his six grandsons—Skyler, Chandler, Jacob, Lucas, Tristan, and Zachary—as well as one great-grandchild, Beau Walker.

Jimmy will be remembered as a devoted husband, a caring father, a loving grandfather, and a man who lived life on his terms. His legacy of love, resilience, and quiet strength will endure in the hearts of all who knew him.
