Barbara Lee Woodring

Barbara Lee Woodring 87, of Morganfield, KY passed away on September 19, 2024 at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, IN. A Loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. Barbara was born and raised in the Byrd Hill area of Smith Mills, KY, Barbara was a housewife but also worked at Carhartt, had a newspaper route, and sold Avon. She loved being a Charter member of Lakeview Missionary Baptist Church where she sang in the choir for many years and wasn’t shy about telling others “Jesus Loves You!” She was an active member of the Eastern Star Chapter #226 in Morganfield until it closed. She gave hugs and smiles freely to just about everyone. She loved her home with all her family photos and what-nots but nothing brightened her day more than seeing the smiling faces of those great-grands when they showed up at her door or woke her up from a nap. She was quick to hug them tight and tell them how much she loved them. The cookie jar was always stocked so they could get a treat when they arrived. She had a green thumb resulting in plants that flourished and always enjoyed watching the crops as they progressed. She was loved by many and leaves an irreplaceable vacancy in our lives, but we know she is safely in heaven today with Jesus and reuniting with her husband, family and friends. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years Cletis Woodring, her parents Corbin Dean Watson and Catherine Watson Alves, sisters Velma Pike and Wanda Henderson, 3 brothers Dean Watson, Alfred Watson and Billy Alves, and granddaughter Lillian Woodring.
