Mattie Woods

Mattie C. Woods’ life began at her birth here on earth on August 9, 1937, in West Paducah, Kentucky.  On Sunday, October 3, 2021, after having lived for 84 years, 1 month and 24 days, Mattie’s life came to its end at 11:24 a.m. in Stonecreek Health and Rehabilitation Center of Paducah .

Mattie was of the Baptist faith and was a member of the former Freewill Baptist Church where she had faithfully and with great pride served as an usher.  She was also a member of the Unique Savings and Sewing Club.  Mattie always loved playing bingo.  She was quite the cook, especially in baking her cakes and pies and making her famous chicken and dressing.  Everyone could depend on “Mattie” to watch after their children because she was one who was a mother to all neighborhood children.
