Carolyn Louise Woodruff
Passed away on Saturday, November 12th

Our loving Mom Carolyn, was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was a wonderful mother to seven children; Connie, Patty, Carol, Henry, Chrissy, David and Andy. She was a Grandmother to 20 and Great Grandmother to 12. She worked at Shorty's BBQ in Davie, FL as a waitress for many years making bonds with her coworkers and customers. She always had a beautiful smile on her face whenever you looked at her. She was such a hard working person, even working during her chemotherapy treatment while fighting her battle with Pancreatic cancer but you would never know because she was always happy with a smile as bright as the sun and had so much joy and love. Mom had a love for horses like no other. She enjoyed going to the horse races which reminded her of memories from when she traveled with her own horses and her love Odell. She also loved to fish. Our mom taught us so many things like how to cook how to drive but most important was how to love. Our mom was strong, courageous, happy, grateful, thankful, kind and loving. She had a strong love for horses. We loved her soo much and are so grateful for the many memories she gave us with so much love. Moms hugs were soft and warm. You truly were the strongest person we knew. We love you so much my sweet Angel thank you for being you!

"To my beautiful Grandma, I sit down constantly reminiscing of all the great memory's we've had. You always made me smile and laugh. You always picked me up when I was down. You always told me I could do anything I wanted. You always pushed me for the better. You always told me everyday is a good day. You always looked at the good in everyone. You were always on the side lines cheering me on and I still can hear your voice today. I can still here you when I use to say "see you later alligator and And you would always responded in a while crocodile". Grandma it doesn't feel real I still wish I could of told you how much I loved you and see you blush and your beautiful smile one more time you meant so much to me.
