Obituary
Roller Funeral Home
Mt. Home, Arkansas
June Ruth (Jeffery) Woods, age 82, of Mt. Home, passed away Wednesday night at Hospice of the Ozarks Hospice House. She was born in Sturgis, South Dakota, December 4, 1927, to James Jewitt Jeffery and Ruth Louise (Roberts) Jeffery. Following the death of her father the family moved to Arkansas during the dust bowl years. She grew up in what is now the Hand Cove/Woods Point area. She graduated from Mt. Home High School in 1946. Following graduation she taught in one room rural schools in Advance and Lone Rock, Arkansas. She married Lloyd Morrell Woods in 1947, and had three children; Morrell Juitt Wood, Pamela June Woods, Iva Louise Woods. Following Lloyd's death in 1954, she moved to California to pursue a teaching degree. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Education from California State University at Long Beach and returned to the family farm in Lone Rock in 1964. She taught in Norfork and West Plaines area for several years, eventually becoming Social Worker for the State of Missouri until her retirement. She loved the academic environment and continued her education earning a Master's Degree in Education from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. She instilled the respect and value of education/knowledge in her children and siblings. She was the cohesive force for a family that is scattered all over the country.
She is predeceased by her husband, Lloyd Morrell Woods, Son Morrell Juitt Woods, parents, James Jeffery and Ruth (Roberts Jeffery)Taylor, stepfather, Leroy Taylor, sister, Louise Davidson, and brothers, Jackie Taylor and Leslie (Jim) Jeffery
She is survived by daughters Pamela June (Woods) Harris of Henderson, Arkansas, Iva Louise (Woods) Lackovic of Springfield, Missouri; siblings, Joe Taylor (New Jersey), Jerry Taylor (North Carolina), Ronnie Taylor (Arkansas), and John Taylor (Arkansas). She had four grandchildren, Shannon (Harris) Isaacson, Kendra Woods, Ty Girdley, Levi Woods, John Lackovic and four great grandchildren, Dylan, Kinley, Baxter, and Parker that she love dearly. Our loss is incalculable; the gifts she gave us are immeasurable. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to Hospice of the Ozarks or Brunt Schoolhouse Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at 10:00AM, Saturday, April 3, at Roller Funeral Home with Jerry Taylor officiating. Interment will be in Burnt Schoolhouse Cemetery.
