Connie S. Woods, 72, of New Brighton, PA, completed her journey at Heritage Valley, Beaver, on November 12, 2025. The daughter of Garnet and Frances (Boone) Putnam, Connie was born in Gassaway, West Virginia, on March 26, 1953.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and more, Connie lived a life defined by love, hard work, and quiet strength. She spent many years at Traco, where her dedication and kindness earned her the friendships of those she worked alongside. When she retires, she turned her full attention to the people and things she cherished most.
Connie had a gift for making others feel cared for. Her kitchen was the heart of her home, always filled with the comforting smells of something cooking. She loved new recipes and watching cooking shows for inspiration, often adding her own special touches that made every meal uniquely hers.
Family was everything to her. She was happiest when surrounded by those she loved. Connie lived a very simple life, but one rich with meaning. She didn’t need much to be happy, just her family, a good meal, and time to enjoy the little things.
Connie is survived by her daughter, Madelyn (Richard) Woods, grandson, Darren Woods, and three great-grandchildren, Kaylessa Woods, Kyrah Woods, and Elias Woods.
In addition to her parents, Connie is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Woods.
In keeping with Connie’s simple nature, no services are to be held.
