Alberta was born March 6th 1936 in Oakhill, Ohio. She was the daughter of Ralph and Ethel Woodruff.

Alberta enjoyed her time spent at Mike’s Bar with good friends, cooking for her family, spoiling her dog Giz and loved watching her Ohio State Buckeyes.

She will be remembered by her contagious laugh and her easy going spirit.

Alberta is preceded in death by both parents, brothers, Raymond and Robert Woodruff and daughter, Sue Woodruff.

She is survived by her brother, Billy and sister, Mamie. Son’s, Gene, Bradley, Michael and David Woodruff and daughter, Gwendolyn Pauley. Additionally, she is survived by several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A beloved daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother, will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
