Jeffrey Woods Obituary
Born July 31, 1966, in Aultman Hospital at Canton, Jeff was a son of Allen (Joann) Woods of Dover, O., and Linda (Richard) Young of Florence, Ky.

Four nieces and five nephews as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins complete the family.
Jeff was preceded in death by a brother, David Allen Woods, as well as his paternal grandparents, Dewey and Pauline Woods, and his maternal grandparents, Howard and Dorothy Burchfield.
