She was born to Lt. Colonel & Mrs. Albert S. Bowen, Jr. She spent a number of years of her youth living in Germany, where her father was stationed.

Sydney was preceded in death by her parents and only sibling, John David, as well as her husband, Amos "Bud" Woodruff, and two sons, David and John Paul.

As I begin to turnt he soil and plant new seeds/plants for the Spring I am reminded of times when Sydney would talk about her backyard and I would get to visit her walking around to hear her talk about each plant. We would sit in a bench facing the morning sun in Arizona before it got too hot. Sydney is with me as I feel her in my mind and soul A great friend.

Dear Darryl and Bobby. I am very sorry for your great loss. Your mom and I were classmates in rialto . We became acquainted in arizona.From 2009 to 2022 we had the best times. We both experienced grief. Loss of husband but found that we could smile, laugh, eat and be friends especially during the tough times in life. Sydney never complained about her health. She did what she was supposed to do and lived her life on her terms is what I saw.She send me a box of candy christmas 2021 and said Pam dont eat it all at once!! Well I did and got a bellyache. She knew me so well. OUr last lunch was summer of 2016 Red Robin for a burger and Bloody Mary!!!.Twas a good day. Sydney loved both of you so very much.I miss her a lot every day and when she told me that `she was going to dance with tommy" I knew what that meant!! RIP Tommy.I saw a new Joy in her life when I met Jay who took care of her, loved her and was so very special. The love was mutual. When you see a parent find joy again, I know that you both knew Mom was Happy . The photos that I have selected are random but you can see her lovely smile and beautiful face. Her heart matched!! Take care of know that your mother and I had some good laughs but not enough time. My condolences to you both and your families.
