Fred Woullard Sr.

Fred Woullard was born on December 20, 1933, in Avera, Mississippi to the late Theo and Emmie Nettles Woullard. At a young age Fred's father moved the family to Florida where he attended public school and grew up as a young man. Because of his love for the outdoors, Kenny's Mill was the ideal place for Fred to be able to learn to work hard, fish, and hunt. He worked as a pulp-wooder and concrete worker before being hired at the St. Joe Paper Company in its paint shop and worked for more than 30 years. Fred was an avid checker player and in his later years he would meet his favorite players at their favorite places to see who the champion would be for that day.
In the mid- nineties, Fred moved to Vallejo, California where he and his wife, Sophia, lived for many years. During this time is when he accepted Christ as his personal Savior, and they moved back to Florida and made his home in Wewahitchka. While living in Wewa, he and his wife formed a prison ministry where they would make weekly visits to various prisons throughout Gulf and Calhoun Counties to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the inmates.
Fred is preceded in death by his loving wife Sophia Woullard, his parents Theo and Emmie Woullard, his sister Margaret, his brothers Jessie and Ray, and his son Freddie Jr.
