Anne Eloise Glover Woods of Jasper and Gulf Shores, Alabama died peacefully on Saturday, October 4th at The Buckingham Senior Living in Houston, Texas, at the age of 103.

Anne was born on April 20th in 1922 in Birmingham, Alabama to Allen Stewart Glover and Maybelle Burkhalter Glover. She was a graduate of Randolph Macon College in Lynchburg, Virginia. While at school, Anne met and later married Henry Harper Woods Jr., during World War II in 1944. The couple settled in Jasper, Alabama where they raised their family. Later in life, Anne and Hank moved to Gulf Shores, Alabama to enjoy their many golf courses. They also lovingly built a home at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, where they hosted their family and friends over the years.

Anne is preceded in death by her husband, Henry Harper Woods, Jr., her daughter, Katherine Woods Kidd, and her sister, Martha Glover Steckmesser. She is survived by her daughter, Louise Woods Priest of Charleston, SC and her son, Henry Harper Woods III (Marion Marshall Woods) of Houston, TX.

In addition, Anne is survived by three grandchildren: Eloise Priest Thome (Eric David Thome) of Charleston, SC; William Taylor Woods (Jennifer Allison Lindsey North) of Washington, D.C;, and Robert Durham Woods (Nicole Mortimer Woods) of Houston, TX. She has 6 great grandchildren: Anna Allston Thome, Landon Glover Southward, and Virginia Grace Thome of Charleston, SC; Cora Harper North Woods of Washington D.C.; and Connor James Woods and Sophie Mackenzie Woods of Houston, TX.

After their children were grown, Anne and Hank combined their love of travel with their passion for golf and saw the world. Travel was interspersed with family gatherings and time spent with friends. Anne moved to The Buckingham Senior Living in Houston, TX in 2007, and enjoyed a large circle of friends and a wide range of activities.

Anne lived a full and joyful life of 103 years, surrounded by family and friends. From the Craft Farms golf course in Alabama to The Teeth of the Dog golf course in the Dominican Republic, she was affectionately known to many as Queen Anne. She will be remembered for her generosity, devotion to her family, her legendary golf swing, and her prowess as a fierce card shark.

The loving care of Ladonna's Dreamcare caregiver staff is greatly appreciated along with Vantage Hospice Services.

A memorial service will be held on November 8, 2025 from 2-4pm at The Buckingham Senior Living's Stratford Theatre located at 8580 Woodway Drive, Houston, TX 77063.
