[S24] The Newport Plain Talk, (http://www.newportplaintalk.com), 27 Apr 2012. Just Plain Talk: Week begins with Overholt's closing and ends in tragedies That afternoon at Newport City Park, I photographed another Woody, Audrey who worked with park employees to plant hundreds of her donated lilies. She has left a beautiful and wonderful legacy to all of us. She is 80 and her husband, Luther Woody, 89. I promised to make his birthday photo in January. [S24] The Newport Plain Talk, (http://www.newportplaintalk.com), 2-3 Feb 2013. Luther Woody easily reached his 90th year on his birthday Sunday, January 27, 2013 celebrating at home and his church, Grace Baptist. He and wife, Audrey Woody, have been married 63 years, as of Christmas Eve 2012. Luther is buoyant and happy and gives this advice: “Live for the Lord.” He said he feels great and still enjoys giving out candy treats to young and old. Born at John’s Creek, Midway, he was the sixth child of the late D.C. and Mary Woody. Also still alive is a younger sister, Clarence Pack, of Midway, married to lumber mill operator Frank Pack, who I featured some years ago. Luther was proud to get a surprise birthday telephone call from Morristown attorney Tommy Wall, of White Pine. Attorney Wall will turn 70 on February 10. Luther also worked all his life and built a career in Detriot as a machine operator for Ward Bakery. [S58] Marriage Certificate.
