Robert Woods
1944 - 2026
Robert (Bob) Woods, 82, of Walkertown went home to his Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 8, 2026.
He was born in Forsyth County to Alfred Newton Woods and Hazel Newsome Woods on March 3, 1944. Bob was a member of the first graduating class of East Forsyth High School in 1963. Before his retirement he was owner and operator of Woods Lawn Service. He was an avid fisherman and deer hunter while his health permitted. He took great pride in his years as a volunteer firefighter in Talley’s Crossing Fire Department in Kernersville.
Bob loved his family dearly. He was a devoted husband, daddy and papa. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Wanda Easter Woods; children, Melissa Woods Padden (Mark), Angie Shinault Plummer (Dan) and Jeffrey Shinault; grandchildren, Zachary Branon (Moniquie), Gracie Branon Bolen (Micheal), Kari Plummer (Patrick), Zac Plummer (Ashley), Cade and Drake Padden; great grandchildren, Hazel and Harper Watts and Wyatt and Sarah Plummer. Additionally, he is survived by his dear brother, Gwyn Woods (Maurice), several nieces and nephews and his best fishing buddy, Arlin Sechrist.
The family is grateful for the loving care provided to Bob recently by Mountain Valley Hospice.
A celebration of life will be held at 1:00 pm on July 18, 2026 at Our Christian Heritage Church, 2051 Old Hollow Rd. Walkertown, NC 27051. We will stream the service live on Facebook. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Our Christian Heritage Church.
Wanda and Family so sorry for your loss Continued Prayers in the Days Ahead.
It has been a tremendous blessing to know Bob and Wanda since I have been at Our Christian Heritage Church. My heart is broken for your loss and grateful to God for Bob’s testimony of faith in Jesus Christ. Praying for all the family.
Always loved talking to Bob. Loved hearing some of his hunting and fishing stories from ‘days current and passed’’. Bob was very easy going and took the time to talk with you, even if you talked about something that maybe he might not be that interested in. We will all miss you Bob but we know you feel better now and we will all see you again one day! Prayers!
I loved Bob and Wanda very much! He was such a good and Godly man! He is in heaven with our savior now! My husband is in heaven with God also! If the family needs anything just let me know! Love Brenda Pardue!
Love Wanda and loved my little Bob as I called him., missed them all very much when I moved back to VA to be close to the children after my Jim passed.
Miss our church and church friends also. May God bless and comfort you all. Sincerely, Monique .
You are All in my thought’s and Prayer’s! ❤️
Bob and Wanda were always a source of encouragement and support in our ministry, always loving and helping. I believe Hagan and Bob are praising Jesus together now in Heaven. As the song says “They are standing tall and whole and walking streets of gold.”
No more sickness, nor pain-only Love !
Bob and Wanda inspired all of us at OUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CHURCH. Always giving encouragement and Love. Heaven gained a wonderful man. May we follow his example for the LOVE he had and has for the LORD.
To the best Papa ever. I’m glad you’re no longer in pain. I love all our times together and just hearing your voice. Our baseball and fishing times are some of the best memories I have. I’ll see you again one day
Love you all ❤️
