Harold Theodore Woods, born on December 29, 1939 in Oteen - Buncombe County NC, received his heavenly reward on April 20, 2025, in Brownstown, MI, at the age of 85. After an incredible journey with the Lord, he left this world surrounded by the love of his family.

Harold was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Theodore Hamilton and Eliza Marie Woods. His passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew him, yet his spirit and love continue to inspire us all.

Harold shared a beautiful life with his devoted wife of 59 years, Miriam Lynn Woods, whom he married on June 5, 1965. Together, they built a family deeply rooted in love and faith. He is survived by his dear sister Margarete Woods and cherished children: daughter Aundra Bennett and her husband Jeff, and son Philip Woods and his wife Sallie.

In addition to his children, Harold's legacy includes five treasured grandchildren: Zach Bennett and his wife Emma, Taylor Raymond and her husband Toby, also Elizabeth, Luke, and Isabella Woods. His two great-grandchildren, Declan and Liam Bennett, were a source of immense joy and pride for him.

A Celebration of Life service honoring Harold will be held on Saturday, April 26 at 10:00 AM at Michigan Memorial Funeral Home, located at 30895 W. Huron River Dr., New Boston, with Dr. Welton Wriston officiating. Family and friends are also invited to pay their respects during a visitation on Friday, April 25, from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the funeral home. Harold will be laid to rest at Michigan Memorial Park in New Boston, MI.

Harold Woods' life was a testament to the power of love, family, and his faith in Christ. He touched the hearts of everyone he encountered with his kindness and generosity. Though he will be deeply missed, his legacy will live on through the lives he impacted as a selfless example of servant leadership.
