Fehrman Mortuary and Crematory-Chester, CA FD1072 - Chester Obituary

Lyle Lee Woodford, age 81, of Chester, California was born to Selma and Raymond Woodford on April 25, 1936 in Mentor, Wisconsin. Lyle is survived by his brother Richard of Nokomis, Florida and three children, Charlene, Gilbert and Mark. Lyle served in the United States Marine Corps prior to moving to Northern California where he met the love of his life, Dorothy, whom he was married to for 47 years prior to her death in 2008. Lyle worked for Collins Pine for 37 years before he retired in 1998. He then spent many happy hours on his woodworking artistry. Lyle loved the natural beauty of wood and created amazing wood models of a variety of vehicles, all with intricate detail, and many with working parts. He has made everything from logging trucks to fire engines, all with natural wood and no metal parts. He was a true artist. Lyle will be greatly missed. A Celebration of Lyle's Life to include Military Honors will take place at the graveside in the Chester District Cemetery at 11:30AM Thursday, August 10, 2017. A time of visitation will take place prior to the services on Thursday at the Fehrman Mortuary Chapel-Chester from 9:00AM-10:00AM. An opportunity to express your condolences to the family along with signing the memorial guest register is available online at www.fehrmanmortuary.com
