ROBERT WOODS

Robert “Bud” McLain Woods, II, age 77, of Wheeling, WV, passed away Tuesday, November 5, 2019 in Spruce Creek, FL.  

He was born April 18, 1942 in Wheeling, WV, the son of the late Robert McLain Woods and Sara “Betty” Elizabeth Shirk Woods.

Bud graduated from Triadelphia High School in 1960 and from Indiana Tech in 1964 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He worked for much of 40 years at the Venco/Conoco calcinating plant south of Moundsville, retiring as operations manager.

Bud had a lifetime love of planes and flying and especially enjoyed the camaraderie at the Wheeling-Ohio County Airport and then in more recent years at Spruce Creek. He also enjoyed cars – especially working on cars. Over his lifetime he owned numerous sports cars.

Bud also enjoyed tennis and golf with his friends, and especially with his late wife Jackie – in the Ohio Valley and again in Spruce Creek.

Bud married his bride and best friend, Jacquelin Ann Kennedy Woods, on May 4, 1974, in St. Clairsville, OH. They were married for 37 years and raised two sons before Jackie’s passing on December 31, 2011.

Bud is survived by his two sons, Robert “Rob” Woods, III of Wheeling, WV; Christopher (Jen) Woods of Charlottesville, VA; one grandson, Carter Woods; one granddaughter, Emily Woods; and one sister, Betty “Snookie” Woods Nutting of Wheeling, WV.
