WOODFORD, Mary J. – Dec. 16, 1928 - October 5, 2007.

This is a woman, who, come hell or high water, out with the rubbers on and elbow deep in the rich soil, which she tended to for many a season, hard as a nail pounded into stone, fragile as the naked hand holding the hammer. Mary left us on Oct. 5th, 2007. Leaving behind her clans, the “pops” and the “tars”. Predeceased by her husband and battle partner, William J. Woodford.
