Christine Woodruff Obituary
Jun 30, 1927 - Apr 15, 2025
Christine Hendricks Woodruff, 97, of Mocksville, died Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Davie Nursing & Rehab.
She was born June 30, 1927, in Davie County, to the late George Robert and Addie Mae Walker Hendricks. As a child, her family lived in the upstairs apartment of what is now Restaurant 101. Later, her father would build the Mocksville Cash Store, which is now where O'Callahan's is. Mrs. Woodruff was a graduate of The Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, now UNCG. Upon graduation, she went to work as the typing teacher at Mooresville High School (1948 to 1949) and later worked as the executive secretary at Irwin Mills (1949 to 1955).
Mrs. Woodruff found a new career as a substitute teacher at Davie High School from 1970 to 1975, and then at Wilkes Central High School from 1975 to 1987. She had been the oldest, registered member of First United Methodist Church for 87 years. In the 1960's, she had served as the UMW president. Mrs. Woodruff had a love of dogs, and always had one by her side.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Charles William Woodruff, Sr., two days shy of their 66th wedding anniversary.
Survivors include children, Gina Boutwell (Raymond), and Charles W. Woodruff, Jr.; a granddaughter, Molly Hendricks Boutwell; and many nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be conducted at 2 p.m., Thursday, April 17, at Rose Cemetery, with Rev. Lori Anne Bowen, Rev. Hannah Howell, and Rev. Don Routh officiating. The family invites friends to visit with them at the cemetery immediately following the service.
In lieu of flowers, please consider memorials to First United Methodist Church Board of Trustees Fund, 310 N. Main Street, Mocksville, NC 27028.
The family would like to express a heart felt thank you to her special caretaker, Bonnie Lambert for all her years of service.
