Barbara Woodard, born on April 11, 1939, in Trenton, New Jersey, departed this life on December 7, 2024, in her beloved home in Grapevine, Arkansas. She was a vibrant soul whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Barbara dedicated a remarkable 25 years of her life as office worker with Lawrenceville Medical Group, where her hard work and dedication left a lasting impact on her colleagues and the community she served. Her professional journey was marked not only by her commitment but also by her warm spirit that brightened the workplace.
Beyond her career, Barbara was a woman of many interests. She took great delight in shopping, with a particular fondness for QVC, where she often found treasures that brought joy to her and her family. Music played a significant role in her life; she cherished playing the piano, filling her home with melodies that echoed her love of life.
Barbara's family was her greatest treasure. She leaves behind her devoted son, Robert R. Woodard and Sherree Woodard of Grapevine, AR, and her daughters, Susan K. Woodard of Morrisville, PA, and Lisa Chabrier of Gilbert, AZ. Her legacy continues through her five cherished grandchildren, Joel, Eli, Anoy (Cari), Tim (Hanta), and Kaitlyn (Trevor), as well as her four great-grandchildren, Zoey, Audri, Nolan, and Phelan, who brought her immense joy and pride.
Barbara was preceded in death by her loving parents, William Russell and Mary Margaret Pierson Russell, who undoubtedly played pivotal roles in shaping the extraordinary woman she became.
The interment services will take place privately at Morrisville Cemetery in Morrisville, PA, in remembrance of a life so well lived.
As we celebrate Barbara's life, we remember her for the laughter she brought, the love she shared, and the indelible mark she left on our hearts.
