Timothy Woodburn

Timothy Lee Woodburn was delivered from this world into the presence of his Lord and Savior on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015. He was 61 years old and resided in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Tim was born in Ironton to Jack E. and Mary Woodburn, both now deceased. He was a member of the Ironton High School Class of 1971. He readily enlisted into the U.S. Marine Corp following high school and served in Okinawa, Japan. He retired in 2009 from the U.S. Postal Service after 26 years of dedicated service.

Tim is survived by his wife, Becky Hayes Woodburn and two stepchildren, Kelly Hoormann (Mike), of Hendersonville, and Brad Salyer (Rachel), of Bowling Green, Kentucky. His only sibling, Jack Jr., resides in Tucson, Arizona. Barbara Woodburn, his precious stepmother, resides in Ironton. He was a very special and beloved Papaw to Braden and Logan Hoormann and Ava Grace and Hayslie Salyer. He is also survived by a host of in-laws, nieces and nephews, all who loved him dearly.

Tim was a member of the First Baptist Church of Russell, Kentucky, and a former member and deacon of the First Baptist Church of Ashland. He had an insatiable hunger for the Word of God and dearly loved Southern Gospel music. He was also an avid motorcyclist. He never felt closer to God than when he was on the open road with the wind in his face.

A graveside service was held at the Nashville National Cemetery where full military honors were observed at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28. A celebration of his life will be held in Ashland at the First Baptist Church Russell at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

In lieu of flowers please consider donations to the music ministry at the First Baptist Church Russell or to Amanda Wilcox’s cancer treatment fund in care of First Baptist Church Russell.

Becky would like to express loving thanks to the following for their unwavering love and support: My children and their spouses, my family including my “adopted” sister Suzanne Smith, Lisa Barker, MD whom we missed dearly when we moved, my “virtual family” at www.thealzheimerspouse.com, where I received tremendous advice and support, and my precious Heavenly Father who literally carried us and now provides hope, comfort and peace.
