Vernon Lois Tribble Woodard was born on September 6th, 1925 in Tishomingo and entered the eternal joy of her Lord on October 7th, 2014 at the age of 89. She married J. C. "Slick" Woodard in December of 1942 and they made their home in Blackwell, Oklahoma, raising two children, Jim and Myrna Lois, until moving to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1965. In 1979, Slick and Lois returned to and made their home in Tishomingo. Though living away from Tishomingo, Vernon Lois never considered any place but Tishomingo to be the center of the universe and through the years made the Class reunion an annual visit. Vernon Lois gave her life to Jesus at an early age and lived the rest of her life sharing the Love of God. Her love for people and relationships she developed as a child remained strong and active until her passing. She was truly and inspiration to everyone she came in contact with and her effervescence and inspiration will be missed by those who knew her.
