IN LOVING MEMORY

Edna Mae Woods

Sep 15 1925 - Sep 03 2015

Mae entered the presence of her Savior on September 3, 2015 at Gainesville Convalescent Center after a long and full life. She was born September 15, 1925 to Edgar and Emma (Fritcher) Gorrell in Pilot Point, Texas. On December 31, 1946 she married Bill Woods. Together they spent sixty-eight years together in Princeton, McKinney and Gainesville where they moved in 1965. Mae’s greatest accomplishment was her family. Together Bill and Mae raised two sons, had four grandchildren and saw the birth of eight great-grandchildren with a ninth due this November. Mae spent her years as a homemaker. Over the years, she enjoyed her greatest title, Grannie, and with that came the pleasures of watching her grandchildren participate in karate, sing in the church choir and raise families of their own. Her happiest times were memories they made along the way.

She is remembered with love by her husband Bill of Gainesville; sons, and daughters-in-law, Jerry and Marla Woods of Gainesville and Terry and Pat Woods of Sherman; grandchildren and spouses, Jill and Mark Linnell, Cassie and Brandon Cranshaw, Jeremy and Sarah Woods and Cody and Jamie Woods; great-grandchildren, Spencer, Grayson, Levi, Lucy, and Luke Woods, Ethan and William Cranshaw and Ella and Eli Linnell; sister, Dorothy Barksdale of Justin.

She is remembered not in death because her life was found in Christ but for her Mae was preceded in death by her parents, sisters, Rosalie Dodson and Sally Boughman; brothers, Joe Gorrell and Bobby Gorrell.

The family will receive friends during a visitation Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home in Celina, Texas. A funeral service will be held Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Chapel in Celina, Texas with her grandsons Dr. Jeremy Woods and Rev. Brandon Cranshaw officiating. Interment will follow at Cottage Hill Cemetery in Celina, Texas.
