Leo Stanley Woodrum Sr., 89, of Radford, passed on Jan. 5, 2019. Born on April 4, 1929, in Charleston, West Virginia as part of the Silent Generation. This term described those who grew up in the late 20s and early 40s. This generation focused more on careers, in which Mr. Woodrum succeeded during his lifetime.
Much of Woodrum’s work is visible through Virginia and West Virginia. Woodrum was delighted that many of the structures he built, local schools, Radford University, and Virginia Tech, educated and housed his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. If one had a house built by Woodrum, they could rest assured he built the house in a meticulous manner.
Preceded in death by his beloved wife Lily Joylynn Woodrum; children, Phyllis Lewis; and Leo Woodrum Jr. Woodrum’s legacy stays with his remaining children, Linda and Kenneth Alley, Pulaski; Becky and Clinton Gravely, Wytheville; and Donnie, Farragut, TN and many grandchildren and great grandchildren throughout the southeast.
On Sunday, Jan. 27, 2019 there will be a celebration of life at Sanctuary of Hope in Dublin at 2:30.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations are given to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. God Bless!
