Lois Woodfin Obituary
Lois devoted 27 years of her life as a bus driver for the Channelview School District. She cherished every student she transported and cared for them as if they were her own children. Her commitment extended beyond the school district; after retiring from driving buses, she continued to serve others by volunteering for 12 years with the Smith Point Fire Department in Anahuac. Her selflessness and sense of duty made a lasting impact on those around her.
Her faith was a guiding light throughout her life. As an active member of Smith Point Community Church, Lois found strength and fellowship among her congregation. Her spiritual devotion was evident in the way she lived-always with kindness, compassion, and resilience.
Lois had a deep love for nature and found solace near the water. She loved fishing and spending time at the beach collecting seashells and rocks. These quiet moments brought her joy and reflected her appreciation for life's simple pleasures. A lifelong fan of Willie Nelson, his music was a constant companion that lifted her spirits and filled her home with warmth.
She is survived by her daughter Kimberly Faulks of Anahuac, Texas; son George Chaline of Humboldt County, California; grandchildren Cody and Amberly Atwood of Katy, Texas; Christina and Jacko Percel of Dayton, Texas; Caleb and Stormey Norsworthy of Huntsville, Texas; Rance and Haley Permenter of Many, Louisiana; Kyle and Mickenzie Permenter of Berwick, Louisiana; Talon Chaline and Lucian Chaline of Humboldt County, California; sisters Tonette Criswell and AnnaBell Langley; along with 17 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Lois was preceded in death by her beloved husband Garth Woodfin; daughter Candy Permenter; parents David and Linnie Mae Lock; brother Rusty Ellis; sisters Dorothy McCurdy, Fayrene Wilson, and Lacille Hoffman.
Lois will be remembered for her warmth, her love of nature, and her unwavering spirit. She touched the lives of many through both service and friendship. Her legacy is one of kindness, strength, and joy-a legacy that will live on in all who knew her.
May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her.
