Chuck was born Sept. 16, 1948, in Warren, the son of Forrest and Shirley Bailey Woods.

Chuck was a 1967 graduate of West Farmington High School. Upon graduation, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1970. An extremely hard and dedicated worker, Chuck retired from Delphi Packard Electric after 30 years of service. While working at Delphi, he also owned and operated Chuck Woods Trucking, which he continued to operate after retirement. He also drove for the Amish, where he made many friendships.

He was a member of Western Reserve Mason Lodge No. 507 of West Farmington.

Chuck was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and was an avid golfer. He also loved dancing the twist, but his greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom he adored.

Chuck will always be remembered lovingly by the love of his life, his wife, the former Sharon Armstrong, whom he married March 19, 1988; three sons, Brian (Jill) Woods, William (Valerie) Woods and Timothy (Candice) Woods; daughter, Traci Rinzella (Thomas Brenkert); 12 grandchildren, Jacob, Elena, Jenna, Bella, Jaxon, Brilea and Bobbi Woods, Baylee (Tyler) Hughes, Lea (David) Aycock, Teri Fendenheim, Mark (Ashlee) Pemberton and Sharon (Garrett) Posey; eight great-grandchildren; daughter-in-law, Angie Rinzella; sister-in-law, Annie Woods; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Chuck was preceded in death by his first wife, Virginia “Ginny” Woods; brother, Bernard Woods; and son, Ronald Rinzella.
