Wendell Lynn Woods, 64, of Hillsboro-Round Rock, Texas passed away April 3, 2023. Wendell was born January 2, 1959 in Hobbs, New Mexico to Betty and Claude Woods. Wendell attended school in Hobbs. He enjoyed camping and fishing.
He took great joy in being together on special occasions with his family. He loved pulling pranks on his sister, Karen. He loved his grandparents, Mr and Mrs C.B. Woods of Hobbs and V.S. and Ethel Flenniken. His grandfather was a police officer in Hobbs, and on occasion he would hide from him.
In 1972 his dad was called to pastor a church in Littlefiled, Texas. Soon, Wendell became friends with one of the deacon’s son. On one occasion, it is humorously remembered that when the two needed gas money, they went to another deacon’s watermelon patch and took a few watermelons to fund their adventures. He has many wonderful friends in Hillsboro.
Wendell was a great son, and his mother and father were so happy to have him for a son. He will be sorely missed, though they know they will meet him again someday!
He is survived by his son Justin Woods, parents Claude & Betty Woods, sister Karen Bush and brother David Woods.
Graveside service will be held Saturday, April 8, 2023 at 2:00PM at Peoria Cemetery in Peoria, Texas.
